Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development was one of the departments instrumental in setting up the alliance. We do participate actively on it. We see the Energy Alliance as being the vehicle for coordinating our efforts in government with the Power Corporation, private sector, the Housing Corporation and so on.
We recognize the immensity of the problem, the amount of fuel that is used and so on. I agree with the Member's recognition. I will commit to doing that. However, given the limited number of people, I believe we only had seven staff in environmental protection to handle everything from hazardous waste to these issues. It is just a matter of where do we put our energies.
We are working on greenhouse gas, beverage container recycling, energy efficiency initiatives and so on. We will do everything we can to achieve what the Member is requesting. Thank you.
