There is also a song, “Put another Log on the Fire.”

And that’s free and good for the communities.
I think we need to look at some of those solutions especially for young people. We, in our generation, grew up cutting wood, hauling wood by dog team and then by skidoo. We need to look at those types of solutions.
This is the important issue in the North. Do we accept the cold hard facts that when you live further out than the larger centres it’s going to be a challenge because your options are limited? You don’t have as many options as down in the Yellowknife area. That’s a fact. So, what type of incentives, like Mr. Nadli talked about being a potato farmer, the potato capital in Fort Providence, to have those types of options that the Minister talked about and grabbing that type of energy and imagination of young people to say, this is what we can do to reduce the cost of living. These are the facts, Jack. It’s going to cost a lot in the small communities and your choices are limited. They’re not like Yellowknife. You cannot have that and
that’s something we’ve got to look at. So that’s why I’m looking at the energy, the high cost of living charrette, so common folk can sit around and say, well, these are the solutions living in our small communities. Thank you.
