Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think the Member knows and certainly we've had this discussion with committee about some of the activities that the government has been involved in, principally through the Arctic Energy Alliance and many departments have been involved in helping to increase energy efficiency of public facilities through retrofits. We've also taken a lead role in promoting public awareness and understanding of some of these issues in trying to make sure that our own structure is up to the task and is energy efficient. I think we have more to do. This is something that we need to continue to focus and work on, especially given the high cost of electricity in many of our communities. It makes good sense for us to both focus on supply side issues -- hydro initiatives make a lot of sense -- but also demand side issues, and that's where we talk about the efficiency of our infrastructure. Thank you.
