Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The intent of the paper is to facilitate discussion and give some overall context to the direction that Cabinet and this Legislature hopefully will take in regard to energy conservation, the transmission, all the different aspects of energy, both supply and market, and give some overall contexts to the discussions and the decisions we need to have in the next few months.

I think some people will benefit from the broadening of the scope with which they view individual issues. Some people may not benefit from it, but it is our hope that through the development of this paper, that all Members of the Legislature, the Cabinet and the public will see energy in an overall, global context, international context, national, in all its various forms with all the relevant issues clarified so that we can make decisions on an individual basis about how we should view energy, how we use it and how it should be provided to us. Thank you.
