Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I agree that we can't just advertise and urge people to cut down on their energy consumption. That is important. I think the work of the Arctic Energy Alliance is good in that one. We do have to look at some more specific ways of helping people in the North to reduce their cost of living and to make their homes more energy efficient. Mr. Speaker, as we go through our budget planning process in preparing for each budget, there is opportunity for Members to have input, and certainly if the Members in this House are ready to support us, then we would look seriously at a program similar to such as Mrs. Groenewegen is raising. Or there might be other good ideas out there how we might get a good bang for the buck by providing some very specific things to residents in the North. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
