Certainly the key here is in terms of the opportunities for success for businesses. I understand what the Minister is saying. The Sahtu is certainly appreciative of the monies that will be going into the Sahtu region for their initiatives to bring down the cost of energy. However, it’s over a period of a number of years and I want to ask the Minister in terms of looking at the communities and the isolated communities versus the business initiatives that could be generated through these initiatives under the strategy here. Sometimes the communities seem to be the last in line in terms of helping them. I want to ask the Minister when he goes back to the Energy Coordinating Committee if some of these small communities with high power and energy costs can bring forward some type of initiatives that would see the cost of energy reduced in their communities.
