Thank you, Madam Chair, and I thank the Member for his comments. I certainly appreciate his take on things, but we are making progress. I’m convinced we are making some progress here. We’re getting close to the end of negotiations on devolution.
We continue to talk to industry at every opportunity about power from Taltson. We need transmission, we need a very sizeable investment in the transmission lines. I know there’s been a lot of talk about the interconnect on the grid north and south, and I believe that can happen with that type of investment and it should happen. I think that’s something that we should certainly strive for. The government is working hard on trying to achieve that objective. We do need to plan. I mean, these things just don’t materialize. You don’t pull $700 million or $800 million out of thin air. We need to plan. We need to have a plan that we can target, we can get the money, get the funding and the customers. I mean, it’s all about having customers at the end of the day and a place to sell that power.
So we continue to work on that through MECC and the Premier’s leadership of MECC and Minister Miltenberger. We are making progress. It might seem to some that we’re not moving fast enough, we need more money, obviously, but our belief is we’re going to continue to move forward and make this work. After devolution there’s probably going to be a reorganization. As far as coordination goes, there might be different models that are looked at. So that remains to be seen, but from a coordination perspective, energy is still under MECC and the guidance of the MECC committee. So we continue to, again, ensure that this file is moving forward and my belief is that it is moving forward. Thank you.
