Question 675-18(3): Northwest Territories Power Corporation Generator Procurement Costs

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The multi-year saga of NTPC's new diesel generators of the Jackfish Lake plant has finally come to a close, and I have questions for the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation. Now that the generators are, in fact, delivered and the contract has ended, what are the final cost overruns for this debacle that taxpayers will ultimately be responsible for?

I don't have that information at my fingertips. I will get that information to the Member, so I will take the rest of his questions as notice.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

The Minister has taken the questions as notice. Oral questions. Member for Frame Lake.
