Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we need to increase the transmission connections across the Northwest Territories. We need to not have 20 some individual micro grids, not have two disconnected hydro systems north and south of the lake. So, Mr. Speaker, it is certainly our hope that, again, in this capital budget, we are hoping to get to a place where we can connect the communities of Kakisa and Fort Providence into the southern hydro grid, hoping to advance work with the Tlicho government to see the Whati hydro project connected into the northern grid, and also hoping to see within this capital project advancement of the Taltson project which would connect those two grids.

Mr. Speaker, Taltson expansion also includes at phrase 3 looking to go south and to connect us into the grid, in the North American energy grid. Mr. Speaker, it is somewhere between $700,00 and $1.2 million per kilometer to send -- to construct this transmission lines. So building our lines south, given the distance we would have to cover to connect, certainly wouldn't solve the problem by itself. If we can interconnect ourselves, we would be able to use surplus energy from the southern Taltson system up to the North and to have redundancy in the North so that communities can move power between them.

And then last but not least, Mr. Speaker, fixing a lot of the power policy systems that we have which would be in concert with the public utilities board so that we can do things like increase our independent power produces in small communities so that they can be selling back, improve net metering so that individual residents can be actually relying on solar but not taking from the grid in a way that it makes it dysfunctional. A whole suite of these kinds of changes can also add to our overall resiliency and change the way that we are delivering electricity in the North. Thank you.
