Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we currently provide funding to the Arctic Energy Alliance. We also fund a whole host of conservation and rebate programs. In addition, we just passed a budget in this House where we’re going to be spending about $16 million this coming year in 2009-10 to better resource alternative energy initiatives across the board, including the conservation programs. For this year, in addition to the funding we already give them, there’s an additional $500,000 to go into the Arctic Energy Alliance to increase their presence across the North. So almost $17 million in addition to the funding that’s already in the budget and we’re going to cover the whole range from mini-hydro, rebate programs, biomass, wind energy, geothermal, extending power lines. I don’t think anybody could say that we’re not putting money into this particular very important area. Thank you.
