Thank you, Madam Chairperson. We don't believe we are. Obviously the Power Corporation has been tasked with working to develop partnerships around hydro initiatives.
The broader energy policy and the decisions about where we focus our resources and the kinds of policy lines for this government to take, will be developed through the Department of ITI. That policy work will happen and will be developed by the energy policy unit and will come up for Cabinet discussion and debate. Then we will provide direction to our vehicle, essentially the Power Corporation, to undertake some of these activities.
What you are seeing now, is a void in terms of policy work and, absent that, we have the Power Corporation expected to carry these activities out, without a broader discussion in terms of overall energy policy. I think that is the piece that is missing that we are trying to address here.
I do not believe that there is duplication and as I have said, the focus on ENR will really be on demand side conservation issues. Some of the programs we have funded in past, heat pump studies, street light conversions, green building development plans, really conservation-type issues, those will continue to be funded through ENR. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
