I have to say I am disappointed in the Minister’s response. Transmission lines are at least $750,000 a kilometre, typically more, and in our environment probably more. That’s not what I’m talking about. We’ve been talking about that for decades. We can’t do that. We don’t have the money. The Minister said it himself. I agree with the Minister; we do not have the money. What we do have are customers. All of the South Slave.

Everybody uses energy. We heat our homes, we drive our vehicles, et cetera. Arctic Energy Alliance studies once again have demonstrated, for example, that the entire community of Fort Resolution could use a good amount of that power efficiently with ground source heat pumps, for example, to heat all their buildings, take one unit of electricity, produce four units of heat, and I would imagine the same is true for Fort Smith and Hay River where we have done a few sort of token projects, maybe a couple.

Clearly, the market is there, the energy is there. To think that, I keep saying we’re 43,000 people, 41,000, whatever. Let’s live within our means. Let’s adjust the scale of our thinking to where we actually benefit people where it’s possible, rather than pursuing these distant projects. We have $1.7 million, roughly, in energy planning. Will the Minister commit to looking at where it’s possible to get things on the ground soon in a scale that suits

our communities and reflects the size of our communities and realizes the opportunities we have?
