Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The $100,000 for the energy effective initiative. I know for a fact from the presentation from the department that the Arctic Energy Alliance is part and parcel of this funding. I would like to ask the Minister, how much money has been spent to date on this type of initiative with the Arctic Alliance?

Mr. Chairman, I do not know how much has been spent over the years on the Arctic Energy Alliance. It has been in existence for a number of years. Each year it has a budget. I do not have that information with me.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister explain to us what the role of the Arctic Energy Alliance is in this? Is it a private organization?
