Corporation. Now it is the time to give that to the people, share the power with the people.

Is that something we’re looking at in terms of this committee — going down to Mackenzie Valley and saying: “We’ll share the responsibility; what we are going to do is educate you on what types of initiatives we can do to conserve energy in the North”?
