Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are in line with the statement I made earlier about the energy issues that the Cabinet read out earlier today. Mr. Speaker, my question goes to the Minister of Public Works and Services. I believe in the long run that this has to be about reduction of consumption no matter where the energy cost levels are. They go up and down. We have no idea how bad this is going to be and for how long. I think that we have to be always vigilant. We live in a very affluent society. We like to have big houses and big cars and such. We forget that we have limited resources when it comes to energy. I believe there is an important role for the government to play. One, it is the biggest consumer of energy in the North. The government can do a lot to make sure that their vehicles and all the things that we own and use are used in a most energy-efficient manner. The second thing is to provide incentives to the working poor, the homeowners, to do more to reduce consumption. I would like to know if the Minister and the Cabinet have considered any incentive programs to get the people to do whatever they can for their houses. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
