The Arctic Energy Alliance was created…They are a third-party organization and we are a major funder. We sit on the board of directors and the Arctic Energy Alliance is able to access federal funding that we would not be able to. They’ve also developed their skills and services to deliver these types of functions. The concern has always been that it’s a Yellowknife-focussed organization, mainly because they didn’t have the resources to provide services on any kind of regular basis outside of Yellowknife. So we recognize that and we’re putting money in, first, to increase the program area funding and, as well, to try to put some actual people on the ground in the regions to help focus on this whole area of energy and energy conservation and its complexities. Thank you.
