Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to follow up with some of my general comments a little more specifically and get the Minister’s take on some things here. During the business plans review, committees brought up the possibility of diversifying petroleum products to include pellets, and there was a commitment by the department to work with ENR to investigate and determine the feasibility of entering in the market to supply renewable energy products within the 16 communities served by the petroleum products division. I’m just wondering how progress is moving along on that, what the plan is, and when we can hear back on that.
The context for it is fossil fuels are a huge part of our cost of living, they’re extremely volatile in price, especially compared to alternatives like biomass products, and they don’t help the local economies at all, whereas biomass products can be a real engine to local economies especially in communities such as these 16. So again I’m wondering where we are on that. Have we started to work with ENR and when can we expect some progress on this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
