Thank you, Mr. Chair. The dollars for the Biomass Strategy, some of those resources were used for the Alternative Energy Technology Program to promote the use of biomass. Some of the resources were used to leverage funding from the federal government to do a number of things in relation to try to get a forest industry going in the Northwest Territories. A good portion, actually, of the resources were used there to develop forest management agreements in the South Slave.

There were some of the dollars also used to promote in other communities in the NWT the use of biomass, such things as martialing yards and purchasing equipment in Fort Resolution, for

example, for their small Wood-Mizer there, to get a planer there. There were dollars used in combination with our partnership funding with the federal government for forest inventory work, planning, marketing development, the primary outcome being the forest management agreements, the support to those communities to work with us in developing the agreements. Thank you.
