Mr. Chairman, no, I do not see any problems with it. While there may be some efficiencies to be gained by doing this through a more coordinated structure, there is no redundancy between the two exercises. This one is looking at hydro potential and assessing the extent to which aboriginal leadership would support the development of that potential. The Energy Secretariat is quite a different task. It is not looking at hydro potential in the sense of it being an opportunity to generate revenue, which is the primary purpose of this one.

The Energy Secretariat is looking more at efficiencies and a more effective way of our government through policy being able to respond to a lot of the energy use issues. A lot of what is driving the Energy Secretariat is more the increasing cost of heating fuel, for example. There was a need for us to look at what is our policy with regard to energy. That is a different task than this one. There is not the level of redundancy that the Member implies. Thank you.
