Thank you, Mr. Chair. Could the Minister say how much this increase in power will bring in to the NWT Housing Corporation? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. For this year, we'll actually save about $500,000 by transferring that six cents per kilowatt to each family member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm wondering if the Housing Corporation has any other energy efficiency or consumption efficiencies planned for their units, in the areas of heat and water for example. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Housing Corporation has really taken energy conservation really seriously, and so we have a number of measures. That goes back to the multi-units that we're looking at doing, the four-plexes, in communities where they have one boiler system that serves all four units.

We also support the Arctic Energy Alliance, who provides, for example, light bulbs to all community members. As well, we have solar on quite a few of our larger units that we have in the communities. Energy is a huge issue for all of us, and the Housing Corporation is trying make our units as energy efficient as possible. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the Minister for that answer. Can the Minister say how much money is being invested in this energy efficiency in this budget? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Actually, I can't actually give you a figure at this point. It is millions of dollars. All of our new units are actually looking at being more energy efficient, so our whole construction going forward is looking at energy efficiency. So I can't really nail down a figure on that, but it is in the millions. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that the Minister may not have that information to hand, but I'm wondering if she could commit to providing it. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we can provide that to the Member and to committee if they would like it, as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's everything.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Just a follow-up on my colleague's questions: I think one of the best ways to promote energy conservation is to share some of those savings with people that are in public housing. Is there a plan or a way that that can be done to help encourage people in public housing to save energy? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we did commit within the business planning process that we would consider that. At this point, no one is paying their utilities, so once people, once we give our -- limited payment of utilities. So, once people have more ownership of their own, then we will look at initiatives to actually support that so that we can promote conservation, because that is the most efficient way to conserve energy. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and I appreciate the commitment from the Minister. So I'm just trying to figure out the timing of this. Is the Housing Corporation going to look at some way of sharing the cost savings with its tenants through energy conservation? Is that going to happen this year or next year or at some future point? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Cochrane.
