Mr. Speaker, as Members here know, we have been preoccupied with just trying to keep the standing commitments of the three departments that I started all over with last March. As a Minister, I started off as a Minister of Renewable Resources, as the Minister for Economic Development and Tourism, and the Minister for Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. It has been my preoccupation, and my staff's, to make sure that the commitments we had made in those three respective departments were all met. At the same time, we also committed to putting together a plan to amalgamate those three departments, set it up in an operational mode, and staff it. We have managed to do all those. In the meantime, we have tackled issues like the BHP project and now the protected area strategy. Things are happening as we speak.

One of the commitments that we want to make and one, that as a Minister am committed to looking at in a serious way, and which, of course, involves other Ministers such as Mr. Dent, is to look at the energy portfolio to find ways that could be of great benefit to the local communities, to private homes as well as to business and to industry; to look at ways to improve the use of electricity, the use of heating oil; to look for alternative and more efficient ways of providing lighting and heating to all sectors of our economy. Thank you.
