Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It manages the energy conservation program and provides financial assistance to government agencies and non-profit organizations through the consumption of energy and utilities. So this funding is available to territorial and community-funded agencies and boards, non-profits, and assists in undertaking projects that reduce consumption of energy and utilities. Historically this has been used for upgrading of lighting, heating, ventilation, water and electrical systems. In addition, this program was used in our current funding year, 2003-04, to lever an additional $160,000 in federal aboriginal and northern communities action plan funding. We have a number of initiatives that we are targeting with the $300,000 in 2004-05. The other point I would make that differentiates it somewhat is this program will also take the lead role in coordinating our territorial approach and our actions to controlling the emission of greenhouse gases.
