Madam Chair, Green Light is our action plan or strategy that shows what we intend to do to minimize the impact of our activities on the environment. We are working at implementing the actions in there. Some of the things we have talked about already have been highlighted in the Green Light, including the work on climate change. That is kind of one of the front and centre concerns and areas that we need to be paying attention to and conducting research to. I am sure that we have good adaptation plans. We are also working on our own greenhouse gas emission reduction mitigation plan that is in the early stages, but the work on that has begun.
I would note that we have had various initiatives in the past to try to minimize our fossil fuel consumption and production of greenhouse gases. The most recent thing that was done is we just put in new engines on the Lafferty. That’s the ferry at Fort Simpson. They are much more efficient than the older engines were and we’re looking forward to the benefits of that.
We continue, as well, to remediate our contaminated sites. There are a number, about two or three of those projects a year that we try to undertake. Fort Resolution Airport was completed last year, Checkpoint is still underway and James Creek Camp is the next on our priority agenda. James Creek up on the Dempster Highway.
There are a number of other specific smaller things, including a Green Team within DOT looking at internal office programs and we also work with Public Works and Services and their Capital Asset Retrofit Fund. They are maintaining our buildings and implanting the various energy initiatives as part of that. The most recent project there is to install a wood pellet boiler at our combined services building at Yellowknife Airport. Thank you.
