Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, power outages negatively impact customers also. You know, it is extra cost for Northwest Territories Power Corporation due to, you know, sending staff into the communities, travel costs for repairs, some of the equipment damage. You know, we do have aging infrastructure within our power corporation. And, you know, as we look to switching over to a more greener provider for the communities. I think that we need to look at that.
And I do want to note, Mr. Speaker, customers here in the Northwest Territories experience approximately three to four times more power outages than the Canadian average. It's just something that we -- you know, it's not -- Mr. Speaker, that's not what we like to hear. But we are doing, you know, the best we can to be able to ensure that we work with our communities and we have staff on the ground when and where possible as quick as possible. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
