Mr. Speaker, this is one initiative that needs to be investigated the same as with the school here in Yellowknife. You’re looking at a wood pellet boiler here. There is no facility here in the Northwest Territories that can produce it. I understand La Crete is probably the closest in terms of the transportation. I’m looking at this school in Fort Good Hope. Why hasn’t that system been included in the Fort Good Hope school as similar to Yellowknife? I think this is where the government needs to look at the smaller communities because of the unique challenges there that need to be included in their discussions for energy initiatives. Again, Mr. Speaker, I ask the Minister of ITI when he goes forward with this, can he look at the unique challenges of these issues in the Sahtu that we would receive a fair shake in terms of these initiatives going forward on the energy framework?
