Mr. Speaker, we will be, as part of this energy plan, talking about setting internal GNWT targets for greenhouse gas emissions. That's going to mean we're going to need to do some things right across the territory in order to meet those objectives. But in terms of assets outside our own inventory, yes, we want to work in small communities to look at options for improving efficiency and lowering costs. We know one of the biggest factors that inhibit business in our small communities is the cost of electricity; stories of stores; the local store having a 70 or 80 thousand dollar power bill. You've got to charge a lot for milk and bread to make it up on milk and bread for what you have to pay for in power and we don't think that's sustainable. So we're going to have to work to help small communities through that problem. Thank you.
