I think it’s fortuitous that our Finance Minister is starting his round of budget consultations so he can hear directly from the people. I think going back to, I guess, the old days, if I can use that terminology, where everybody was independent. They went out and got their own country food. They cut their own wood. It was a full-time job making sure they had food on the table. They could grow their vegetables, they’d set nets to catch fish, they’d go do their fall fishery and so on. That was the only way that they could afford to live in those communities, because nobody had power and nobody had running water.

So in modern day equivalency, we have all those amenities. It’s very hard to go back to living that lifestyle, but I think that we’re starting to see more and more of that with ITI. I think we now have 28 communities that are back growing their own food.

We, as a government, are moving more and more to biomass. We have most of our large buildings that are heated by biomass. We’re very close, perhaps a year or two away, from a wood pellet facility, and a lot of the people are moving back and using wood pellets. So I think this Energy Charrette is one of the focuses to get people to be more independent in generating power and so on.

I think those are the kinds of things we have to seriously look at. I think we have no choice. Thank you.
