Thank you, Madam Chair. It’s a discussion that the Member and I have had before. I’ve said the communities do a very good job in planning for and their buildings as up to standard, if not above standard, as possible. If the Member feels that we as a department or we as a government need to come up with standards that we set that the communities have to follow, even though they’re building all their buildings according to code and according to standards, because they realize it would be beneficial on their part and some significant savings, too, if they were to design their buildings above standard, it’s a discussion that I’ll commit to the Member that we’ll have with the communities. I still believe they’re doing a very good job and I think we’ve seen examples of that before, where some of them are incorporating biomass heating into their plans and some are taking residual heat off another building. We’ve seen pretty good examples of some forward thinking by the communities. Thank you.
