Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are on track for the completion of a detailed business case for this project within the life of this government. This document will not be made public. As a general rule, Mr. Speaker, detailed business case information is not made public; you know, to preserve the financial that's in the context of a major project for which we are going to be seeking competitive bids for this construction. We will be working with our partners to provide compelling case for Canada and the GNWT to invest in significant dollars for this project.

Mr. Speaker, a key part of this work is to demonstrate specific benefits for the Northwest Territories in terms of growth, construction jobs, stabilized power, power rates, specific conditions, risk, that must be addressed prior to the GNWT investing in this construction dollars. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
