Thank you, Mr. Chair. There are a number of advantages especially for large applications. In terms of the product: the stove, what you need to burn, you don’t need the same kind of chimneys, it’s much easier to get insurance, it’s recognized as safer, there is less handling of the material, it tends to be automated, the pellets that are properly squeezed have to meet standards that give them the equivalence to hardwood so they burn more efficiently and with less ash. To those of us that are traditionalist for home heating, that’s a choice, that like I’ve made for normal wood. In terms of the big applications like the North Slave Correctional Centre, it’s much easier. The Chief Jimmy Bruneau School and all these other larger operations where you...Plus you can fill a hopper and you can do regular checks as opposed to where you had a wood furnace you’d need basically a stoker to be going around to load logs and clean ashes. Thank you.
