Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are in the process of looking at the feasibility of certain buildings in the communities. I mentioned that we are looking at three buildings in Fort Smith this year. There's also the possibility of 14 facilities that could be put on electric heat. But again, Mr. Speaker, it comes down to how much surplus is there and exactly the grid system we have in those communities, can they take the extra load, and also ensuring that we do have a long-term accessibility question to ensure we have the long-term ability to access that surplus power over a long period of time. So we are doing a feasibility study along with the Department of Public Works and Services and other government agencies. Again, this is one of the initiatives that we are putting forward in regards to the energy plan to ensure that we look at this in other communities such as using residual heat off power plants, taking a look at the biomass project we're looking at in regards to other facilities. So we are looking at other alternatives. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
