I just had to clarify in my head what your whole question was. ATCO is a big outfit and they do have a lot of money, but the problem moving forward for this government is that -- it's not the money it's our borrowing capacity moving forward. We need to have engagement with the federal government. If we decide to expand the Talston Project, we need to have a buyer at the end of the day. This government is engaged in consultation or conversations with other end users who will purchase this power and to do that at the end of the day we believe that the Talston project is going to require a subsidy and that's why we need to have federal engagement moving forward. ATCO has capital but that doesn't fix our borrowing limit. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
