Mr. Speaker, my second set of questions are on the Taltson Hydroelectric Expansion Project. My questions are for the Minister of Infrastructure. The Executive's 2030 Energy Strategy and a Climate Change Strategic Framework rely heavily upon greenhouse gas reductions supposedly resulting from a major expansion of the Taltson hydroelectric system. Could the Minister describe the phases of the proposed Taltson hydroelectric expansion set out in the 2030 Energy Strategy, including the following:
Identify the time frames of construction, how each phase of construction will be financed, and to whom will the energy be sold;
Identify the amounts of power to be generated and whether any additional impoundment and/or flooding will occur;
State the GHG reductions anticipated for each of the phases and in which jurisdictions those reductions will take place; and
State the calculated costs for each phase, including a breakdown of hydro facilities, power lines, and related infrastructure, including roads and the engineering class for such cost estimates.
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
