With regard to energy, I noted in the Minister’s opening comments he talked about residual heat in Inuvik and also for Fort Liard. I would like to ask the Minister what about those communities that have already looked at that business venture. There already is a business in the Inuvik region that specializes in residual heat. It’s Aadrii Energy which is a joint venture between the Gwich’in Development Corporation and Northwest Territories Power Corporation. I’m just wondering, have you spoken to that organization. I noted that you have Inuvik mentioned, but believe we have had discussions with the people in the Gwich’in Tribal Council, because it is one of their business arms.

The work that they are doing to support the initiatives of the proponents to build the pipeline, these are positions that people here do go into the various other regions that the pipeline will be impacting, the communities that will be impacted by the potential pipeline.

This office helps coordinate the activities throughout the government and is also responsible for coordinating with community governments and aboriginal governments. So they have been travelling to the different communities to update them on what’s been happening with the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline.
