Thank you, Mr. Chair. In point of fact, a lot of this work is already underway. I refer to the $60 million that we put forward as an Assembly to deal with the alternative energy piece of loan. As Minister McLeod indicated to the Energy Coordinating Committee that he is chair of, the things that were done, we have been converting government buildings to biomass. There has been a payback in some cases of just a few years. We have a wind project underway in Tuk. We have a Solar Strategy that has been developed. We have a very live geothermal pilot project in Fort Liard. We have a Greenhouse Gas Strategy that is going to look at how we can reduce our carbon footprint of things we have to do. We have changed our building standards. We are going to continue to look at the Ener-80 Guide and how that would be improved over time. We have also, as was pointed out, come up with an electrical rate review that significantly dropped the rate of power in the communities. We have to continue to focus on infrastructure, the roads, to make sure what we build is cost effective in terms of energy and continue to find or try to make sure we find money to continue those alternative energy initiatives that will allow us to keep that cost down, energy being one of the biggest costs. Thank you.
