Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the other day my colleague Ms. Bisaro raised the NWT Association of Communities’ resolutions, the great bunch of work done last week and earlier at their annual general meeting, and I’d like to ask a couple of questions about their suggestions. It involves the Minister of the Housing Corporation and Public Works and Services, the Minister of ENR and MACA. I’m not sure how to divide that up, but the first question is: The association recognized the significant subsidy of all utility costs in the housing programs as a problem that caused a lack of motivation for housing tenants to practice conservation of any sort. They recommended that the housing authorities should have representation on community energy plans and they called on us to mandate the Housing Corporation and associations to develop plans to ensure all appropriate methods are being used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Are the Ministers, or is the Minister working to provide a timely and positive response to this albeit recent resolution and get things going? This shows the sort of comprehensive and preventative thinking that we’re looking for on the issue of mitigation of climate change. What’s being done? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
