In the near future we would hope that every community that has biomass material in the vicinity would be able to stand alone and be self-sufficient. In the meantime, we’re developing pilot projects to show that it can work in every community. Also, you need a sufficient mass of customers or people who will use wood biomass for heating their homes. When you look at Yellowknife there’s quite a large group who are using wood pellets so it’s feasible here. I think that would be part of the issue. With pilot projects we foresee a day when every community will be utilizing biomass. Thank you.
