Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to talk a little bit about the Inuvik and Norman Wells situations. I know we’ve supported work to look at biomass solutions. I’ve heard the past mayor interviewed on the radio during the recent emergency in Norman Wells extolling the opportunities of biomass in Norman Wells and the Minister has told me that the long-term feasibility of biomass in Inuvik is good. Right now, I don’t see anything in here that follows up on all of those opportunities. What are we doing to move to those?

We could obviously pursue the liquid natural gas routes and other natural gas routes and so on, but we know that the general price will eventually go up once the Asian prices start to be realized in North America and so on, and the cost of fracking, reaction to fracking. It seems like common sense, again, to go for the best long-term solution from the start.

What is the Minister doing to push the frontier with those two communities that are facing real challenges right now and need long-term solutions?
