I appreciate the Minister’s willingness to look at this. I think he brought forward some good points. I think a suite of energy sources is probably the way to go. We need to transition to a greater and greater proportion of renewable or at least low-carbon sources. I think the Minister is well aware of that. I’d like to note that in those communities there’s already been feasibility projects going, for example, for a pellet manufacturing plant out of Simpson, geothermal, hydro projects and so on that the Minister himself has been involved in. Given his comments again and this recognition of the need for a suite of energy sources transitioning to renewable, will the Minister pursue these feasibility studies and incorporate in them and re-examine the gas ones to look at what the local benefits are to the local economy and employment opportunities as well as the environmental benefits?
