Merci, Monsieur le President. My questions are for the Minister responsible for the Northwest Territories Power Corporation.
The Executive's 2030 Energy Strategy and a Climate Change Strategic Framework relies heavily upon greenhouse gas reductions, supposedly resulting from a major expansion of the Taltson hydro-electric system.
Could the Minister describe the phases of the Taltson hydro-electric expansion set out in the 2030 Energy Strategy, including the following:
Identify the timeframes of construction, how each phase of construction will be financed, and to whom will the energy be sold;
Power to be generated and whether any impoundment and/or flooding will occur;
Greenhouse gas reductions anticipated for each of the phases and in which jurisdictions those reductions will take place; and
Anticipated costs for each phase, including a breakdown of hydro facilities, power lines, and related infrastructure, including roads. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
