Thanks, Mr. Chair. I had no idea that Mr. Applejohn was our senior science advisor, but it’s interesting to know we have one and that might be interesting to pursue at some point but not here.

I believe, given that we are the authority over greenhouse gas emissions, and we’re doing some good work internally, but we still aren’t doing anything for outreach to speak of other than our incentive programs. The Arctic Energy Alliance is doing some work there. With the Diavik wind project we know that it’s possible to do significant work in that area, but it seems to have to be done voluntarily. Obviously, with all our experience now, we know that there are many, many opportunities where it can be done to achieve creation of jobs as well as meet our environmental goals and actually reduce costs for businesses.

Is the Minister going to ever move on the required renewable energy portfolio as indicated in the Greenhouse Gas Strategy as a possible direction? For example, when we approve a project we could start requiring, well ahead of time as this is going to happen in the next year or two years from now, 5 percent of their energy needs must be produced from renewable energy and that 5 percent is going to up by 10 percent every three years, just by way of an example, up to a certain amount. Is the Minister thinking about this and when can we expect some responsible action on that front?
