Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have to look at all options as far as the NWT Housing Corporation goes. I would be very careful, and we have to do our homework obviously, I’d be

very careful as far as putting woodstoves into every public housing unit. If there are other options we could look at like a biomass central heating system for some of our multiplexes, then we need to start going in that direction first.

We’d have to do some research to see what other jurisdictions are doing. We’re a whole different kettle of fish up here and our situation is not quite the same as what they are in other jurisdictions, but it would warrant, I think, more research as far as our looking at different sources of heating. Wood pellet, as the Member has raised on a number of occasions, would be one option, but at the same time, we have to make sure they’re cost competitive.

I believe in alternate energy as much as the next guy, but I want to make sure these are all cost competitive without massive subsidies that we’d have to be paying out. It is one though that warrants, I think, more research.

One of the things we want to look at right away is how could we incorporate biomass into a central heating system and use that in some of our multiplex units, which is the direction we’re going in the future. Thank you.
