Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regards to the issue of the cost of living, it is one that is of concern to all of us. As we look at all the energy efficiencies, the money of $60 million that we have allocated over four years, the wind power initiatives, all these types of things all appear to make those various investments in communities as well. We will soon be all looking at the recommendations on the electrical rate review, which has substantive recommendations that I think will assist, as well, in downward pressure in the cost of living. We look to that.
In regards to the tens of millions of dollars of assets we have on the ground in communities, be it housing or government, there is a recognition that we have to look at how we structure ourselves so that we have adequate maintenance. Right now, we have a clear difference between the housing support staff that are there who only deal with
housing issues -- and in many cases are the only folks on the ground -- and all the very many government buildings that are there that there are ways we can possibly work better with housing to have more of a settlement maintainer approach. Public Works as well is looking at options like settlement maintainers to try to get some folks on the ground to help us deal with this deferred maintenance issue. It is one I think where there is room for us to be more creative and effective. We look forward to working with committee on how we can structure that in the coming months. Thank you.
