In this House I’ve spoken about this before and I would like the Minister to tell me again why we can’t, if we’re trying to reduce our carbon footprint, why can we not increase our use of biomass by putting pellet stoves or woodstoves in the homes of NWT residents that would significantly and immediately impact their cost of living if they chose to subscribe to this offer. We can do it. When John Todd was Minister of Finance he threw out $10,000 grants under the Downpayment Assistance Program like he was throwing out peanuts at a Sunday school picnic. I mean, it was broadcast. Anyway, that is something small, it is something tangible.

Will the Minister put out an RFP for a supplier of pellet woodstoves to start installing them in the homes of NWT residents? Thank you.
