When we look at these types of programs, like I said I felt before in my statements, that the Sahtu didn’t really have a fair shake at this type of initiative. I felt that we missed out.
I was a little bit forceful in my language on our use of the diesel fuel. That’s a reliable source for us right now. I found that we need the government to be supportive. If you’re looking at the Norman Wells health centre and long-term care facility. Does Public Works and Services see that wood pellet would be a viable heating source of energy for any other large facility? If it is, then tell the people in the Sahtu we need to get a supplier going here.
There are all kinds of excuses not to have this. This is only one source of energy that we’re talking about. We’re not talking about geothermal or hydro. That’s my comment. Make it so that we can have a good discussion. The Minister said he’s having discussion with the Sahtu Secretariat right now. I look forward to the outcome of those discussions with the SSI. I’ll leave the rest for detail.
