Lower Churchill Project

Yeah.

And I mean, I, I remember that question almost word for word being asked before Muskrat Falls.

Um, and of course we went down the road to Muskrat Falls 'cause we didn't wanna involve Quebec and then we ended up [laughs] with the proverbial albatross around our necks.

I mean, it comes down to their power of financing, the size of Hydro-Québec, um, our inability to financially go it on our own.

We did that with Muskrat and we're gonna be paying for it.

God knows what'll happen after 2030 but that's primarily the simplest explanations for it.

It's, it's the inability.

So we both want to develop it, you know, but we can't always, we've tried to develop it.

We did it with Muskrat, and look where that left us.

We're still into mitigation, you know, just to keep our power bills in check, at least until, God help us, in 2030.

But, you know, if it was only as simple as Marketplace, and actually... uh sometimes i think i'd rather deal with hydro quebec than marketplace but that's just me

There has been a signed, um, signed document in 2011 to acknowledge that, that both the province and the federal government acknowledge that it is Innu land.

There are IB- uh, uh, IBAs for both the Upper Churchill for Muskrat and now for Gull Island, so it, it is acknowledged it is Innu land.

Hmm.

Yeah, and then there's, there's meaning that can be interpreted through that.
