Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the Member would have the time to put his fingers to the keyboard and send me an outline and I’ll listen to the discussion and I’m interested to have further discussions about that. But for greater clarity, he could give us how clear it is on this issue in terms of key points that he’d like to see environmental awards, and we will definitely give it serious consideration. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife South, that Bill 67, Supplementary Appropriation Act (Operations Expenditures), No. 1, 2015-2016, be read for the third time. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Now I have to beg the indulgence of the House to restate the question so I can get it clearly. I was doing some other things.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

I’ll just restate that we have, over the last 18 months probably, two years, we’ve been before committee on a number of occasions as our thinking has evolved on the projects, the borrowing limit, what projects we’re identifying to justify and to get the borrowing limit. If there’s a need for further meetings, we’d of course be happy to have that. When we talk about a significant investment in generation capacity in Yellowknife specifically, one of the things that are there is they hydro expansion, both potentially to the Bluefish as well as there is additional capacity in the Lac La Martre...

Thank you, Madam Chair. There were test sections, four of them, laid out 2012 and there is a monitoring program until 2015, to September 2015. They will document all that work and pull it all together at that point. Thank you.
