I do appreciate the Minister reminding me of the history; he was dead-on there. I guess I would note that the information out of Norman Wells indicates that even if the community can transit to propane, the cost will be high, future costs will remain volatile. Because of costs, the propane conversion can only be considered a stopgap there.
As I’ve pointed out repeatedly, and as demonstrated in thousands of communities across the globe, employment and investment opportunities from renewables can be the basis of strong, local, sustainable economies and drive down living and business costs. Taking into consideration the Minister’s comments and the reminder of the history here, will the Minister work with his MACA and Environment and Natural Resources colleagues to consider this opportunity to take Norman Wells and other communities onto the path of renewable energy as a viable option that needs equivalent feasibility studies?
