Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have to question the decision against the community’s wishes for a Whati transmission line design, when I believe one of the principles of this government is to support local energy generation. I’d like to ask what the reasoning is. How does this support that principle when we know that there is, for example, a proposal for a mineral development in the area, which is currently proposed to use diesel generation of power and increase our greenhouse gas emissions, lend no support in terms of economic development and jobs and so on for people, when we could be developing local power within Whati, recognizing that it is a big hit on the capital front-line side, but we’ve been postponing this for a long time? It’s time to get on with it.

I believe Yellowknife from time to time, certainly in low-water years, has to turn to our diesel generators. It’s the same for Behchoko, also on that same power system. Now we’re proposing to add

another community and possibly even another mine site without adding to the capacity of production. A couple of things that bring this into question. How does this fit with our principles and the current demand that already frequently exceeds the current power generation?
