Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have to highlight this rather scary Power Subsidy Program. The cost of power is a huge concern across the North. All of us that pay bills will have noticed the changes. A large change from $9.9 million to $14.1 million in the Power Subsidy Program, that’s almost a 50 percent leap this year. It includes the $3.2 million for the commercial power subsidy. My concern here is I think this reflects a slavish commitment to a fossil fuel future, if you will, by the Power Corporation, and expense that comes with that, instead of investing in things like small hydro that result in a decreasing power cost and power bills over time.

So, again, I want to ask this Minister if he’s going to ensure that the administration of this commercial power subsidy will in fact be directed to the production of renewable or alternative energy sources that will provide long-term benefits to the commercial entities, rather than simply a deep holdethat we throw the $3.2 million in every year as fossil fuel costs go up and the benefits go down from that budget. Thank you.
