Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, fundamentally, the costs that go into generating power, whether it's the fuel or whether it's the upkeep, continue to grow, and the sales of power in the Northwest Territories remain flat, and that has been the case for a very long time, long before any -- before this Assembly was composed. So, you know, we can certainly try to increase those to whom we are selling, and in particular, it's, you know, not a handful of residential customers and probably not even converting a handful to electric heating, but to look for industrial customers. So the power corporation is right now -- has for the last two years and for the first time ever but in the last two years attended Roundup to try to speak to the different projects that are coming online hopefully in the Northwest Territories. That would have a significant impact increasing our transmission system so that we can distribute power to more communities so that more communities are using hydro power. That will start to make a difference, not necessarily a huge one, probably it's more in the form of resiliency, but. So these are -- there are things that can impact the energy system in the Northwest Territories, but it's probably not the -- you know, tinkering on the sides of costs, it's going to be fairly significant changes.

So -- and, again, I -- there's a lot in this space. I certainly will ask my -- ask that we set up a time for MLAs to look at this and to look at what we're doing. There is also the change coming to the board that has been asked, and I'd like to get to speak to about -- to that. I don't know that that changes these fundamentals that sales are flat and costs are high, but there's work underway to try to make that -- to shift that balance a little bit. Thank you.
