Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources. I had the opportunity to attend the kick-off of the Energy Charrette last night at the Explorer Hotel. I found it very interesting that the keynote speaker was talking about the great decline in the cost of capital infrastructure for alternate energy. It used to be that the payback on investment in wind and solar and different alternative energy sources was prohibitive. Now the cost has gone down, it’s diminished to such a great extent and yet we in the GNWT can’t seem to get on board. I know the Minister will point to the solar panels in Fort Simpson and the Arctic Energy Alliance with their rebate on new appliances and small things like that, yet we, as a government, continue to spend millions of dollars, which by comparison, what we’re actually doing that is tangible is a pittance.
So I would like to ask Minister Miltenberger in his very knowledgeable opinion, where is the Northwest Territories going next in terms of energy? Thank you.
