What I am getting at is that we are always saying that we are going to support Aboriginal and northern business, and here we are once again. This is a Crown corporation under the auspices of the Government of the Northwest Territories, and we are paying $16 million for the assets of Northland Utilities in Hay River. I find that is, for clarity, not our mandate, and we are setting a precedent. The next time, over here, when the Yellowknives want to get out of it, we are going to start that here, too, with Northland Utilities? I know they just signed a five-year deal because I keep track of everything that comes through here. When its time is up, you are going to pay how much there for that asset. You are going to go more in the hole, and you are still not going to pay lower power rates. I don't know how you think, physically, but that is not a way business will be run. No business, private business, will run like that. Just because it's government, you can go around and do these, make these crazy transactions, and it's okay. That is not transparency. That is not clarity. That is not accountability. Thank you.
