Thank you, Mr. Chair. So the original costing of the Whati line was supposed to come in, I think it was around $22 million and it has now come in at $30 million. So we need a subsidy, we’re required to do that and the reason for that is that the original anticipation was to have a much smaller line, but the terrain proved too challenging. It required a higher voltage line, which required more substantive towers to bring that in. So really we’re looking at an increase of $12 million to $30 million and the subsidy to make ratepayers whole on that project is now up to $20 million. So the decision was that it was not really economical to proceed with that project. Thank you.
