I mean, I completely understand my colleague’s point about spreading the benefits and trying to be a leader. To some degree, I mean, we wait for where we know we can get supplied before we go in, because we’re not a supplier of pellets but we want to support the
industry. We will go in where there is limited use of pellets, but at least some supply, and us being there, having additional demand, demonstrates that this technology works here in the Northwest Territories and that others can certainly build upon it. Example: We are putting biomass in some of the schools and some of the other places in the Northwest Territories like Fort Providence where there may not be as large a distribution, but once we get in there and demonstrate that they have real, positive attributes and that there are savings to be had, and there’s also a greater degree of actual product available for others to take advantage of, we are seeing other businesses and residents taking advantages of these opportunities.
Where we wait for at least an acknowledgement that we will be able to get supplied before we put in them, once that supply is there, we’ll jump on it, and we go in and we do as much as we can where money is available. Some of the money is coming from the Capital Asset Retrofit Fund, which we think is a fantastic program and it’s given us lots of money to roll back into some of these things. We want to hit some of the areas where we know we’re going to get larger returns so we can grow the funds, so we can get more benefits and hit more people. I think we are spreading the benefits and we are working with communities, and we’re working with anybody that’s interested. If somebody from a community were to come to us and say we can get supply into a community where there isn’t, we would love to have that conversation. We think there would be significant opportunity to do that.
Now, with my rant, I completely forget the other question you had.
The second part of the question was around actual usage and savings and bigger-picture numbers rather than just the $25,000. We have some numbers. I’m not sure it’s exactly what the Member is looking for. We can probably dig out those numbers. But I’ll go to the deputy minister right now who has some specifics. I don’t believe it’s exactly what you’re looking for, but we will work to get you some of those bigger numbers as well. For some details on what we’ve seen as success, I’ll go to the deputy.
