Thanks for that interpretation of everybody pulling out. I’m sure that’s getting some chuckles across the territory on a very serious subject. Given that the MGP will not be pulling forward, is this just blind support that we freely give away taxpayers’ money on an impossible venture to which there will be absolutely no progress possible for the next few years? Or are we requiring some response for those dollars such as they become experts in biomass and start doing some biomass projects or something like that? Obviously, they’re based, I believe, in Inuvik and there are serious energy issues there and we’re talking about renewable energy as one option. What are we doing? Is this blind support, no questions asked? Here’s $300,000 of taxpayers’ money despite so many demands?
