Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is a project that was done in discussion in consultation with the Tlicho Government as well as the community of Whati. It depends on how you want to consider the sequencing. The transmission line will allow the community of Whati to go onto hydro. We know that we’re currently looking at expansion in a number of areas for hydro. We’re just concluding the Bluefish, for example, and we’re, through the energy plan as we’ve laid out to committee, going to be talking about the broadening of the grid and the connection of the grids going forward to allow us to move hydroelectricity throughout the grid. We recognize that there is an opportunity on the Lac La Martre River for a significant amount of power. The community was looking at a much smaller scale. It ended up, after basically years of work, is the plan is to move ahead initially with a transmission line.
