Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, that's a really good question. And I'm just going to ask Mr. Jenkins to speak a little more about that because I find it very hard to predict what's going to happen in the future in terms of who wants to take on this. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So we've had several meetings with Northland Utilities. Of course they're the electrical provider right now for Fort Providence and Kakisa to have some discussions on the project. They provided some feedback in terms of technical suggestions that, you know, we'll consider as we design the project but not looking at it from an ownership aspect. The transmission line would be to connect their facilities in those communities. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And I guess the next question is the line between Pine Point and Hay River, will that line be required to be upgraded in order to supply Fort Providence and Kakisa. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Really good technical question that I don't know offhand but I'm going to look to minister -- deputy ADM Jenkins.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So we're looking at extending basically the line, the 72KB line from Hay River to Fort Providence. So of course as we go into design and if there's different needs, any surplus power of course could be used for other operations. We'll have to consider that is there going to be need to change the design a little bit? Is there going to be a need to upgrade substations, etcetera? So I guess I don't have a firm answer for you. It's something that we'd have to consider when we get closer to the ultimate design and construction of that project. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The other thing is you talked about displacing diesel. So my understanding is Kakisa is provided power from Dory Point, or has a backup there, is that correct. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to see if Mr. Jenkins knows because I'm going to say no, but I'll just turn to him for confirmation.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So with the transmission line, would we be looking at eliminating that backup generation at Dory Point and is there enough backup generation on the diesel plant in Fort Smith -- I mean in Fort Providence to cover Kakisa. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to look to Robert Jenkins because I don't know that technical question as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and good question. I understand that the backup would come from Fort Providence, again of course caveat -- maybe putting a caveat on this that we still haven't had the final design of the entire project and there's lots of work to do there. But my understanding is that it would virtually eliminate diesel in these communities. Of course you won't eliminate because there will be times where there will be a need for maintenance and other work and there is backups that will be needed. But my understanding is that that would be in Fort Providence. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess I just want to move on to the LNG project in Fort Simpson and I see there's one in Tuk as well. Can you I guess provide me some information on I guess on the costs of both of those projects. Thank you, Madam Chair.
