Mr. Speaker, yes. I can confirm that, at least myself as a Minister, I am prepared to do work to undertake some sort of initiative which I can advance to Cabinet that would address the area that the Member is referring to. It is not that we have not done anything. What I am saying is that I need some more time to scope out the full area that I want to address. In the meantime, at the community level, just to give people some sense of what it is we are trying to do, we have studied work on helping two communities, Cape Dorset and Fort Simpson. A team is going in with these two communities to address a way that could be used to do what you would call community energy planning, to address the very points at the local level that the Member is raising. I think that we are off to a good start and I would hope that in the course of the coming fall, perhaps, we may be in a position to speak to Members about something a little more comprehensive. Thank you.
