Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I recognize that the department and government have done and are doing some interesting initiatives at the community level like the heat reclamation at Fort McPherson and community energy planning in Fort Simpson. My concern is that while we are making some individual efforts in some areas, this is an area with huge potential, but seems fiscally undernourished and would benefit from, even if there is not a huge influx of new money, a broader plan that would explore some of the possibilities in terms of energy savings. As the price of oil rises and energy costs increase, it is going to be an area where there can be significant savings, as well as benefits to the environment and to communities in terms of freeing up dollars. The question would be to confirm the need for a broader energy strategy in addition to the very appropriate community

initiatives, that is going to be tied together some way, so we can look at areas where we may need more capital up front to save money in the long run. Thank you.
