Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for Premier McLeod, following up on my statement from earlier today on related issues.
Recently, Cabinet announced that rather than pass on the true cost of power generated by diesel due to the hydro shortfall we are experiencing because
of climate-change- induced drought in our hydro-generating system, the government would provide a direct subsidy yet again, this time to the tune of $20 million.
Public Works, of course, is replete with hundreds of examples of reducing energy costs through infrastructure with short payback periods.
Is there an equal commitment of $20 million this government is making to provide energy infrastructure identified through rigorous evaluations to provide cheaper power? Mahsi.
