The broad issue that has generated this debate and the one that we have been looking at as a government and the Assembly and what the charrette was focused on was the cost of living and the need to bring down the cost of energy, the need to look at things like roads and creating the conditions for economic development. The broad discussion of how we’re structured to deliver energy is an important one. The distribution side, the transmission side, for us, currently, as the Premier indicated, there is a franchise request possibly coming out from the Town of Hay River, and as the Premier indicated, we’re looking very carefully at all the questions related to what that issue and what involving the Power Corporation in that franchise bid would possibly mean territorial-wide. Hay River is not just an isolated entity. We need to have those very careful considerations and do due diligence as we look at that, but we also need to keep in mind the broader discussion that is driving us, which is what do we do to drop the cost of living in all the communities, both the hydro zone and the thermal zone. Thank you.
