Thank you, Mr. Chair. I respect the concern, but, I mean, are we a government that supports getting off fossil fuel and working towards alternative energy sources or not? We continually say that we are, but then, you know, unfortunately replies like that are not proving our mandate correct. I mean, why can't we even give owners specific requests? When it comes to large companies or bigger facilities that we want to see get off of fossil fuels, I'm quite sure they're not trying to be in competition with the government as being a power provider. I mean, the government could even set the return rate. All they're trying to do is reduce their costs and the cost of doing business. We say that we stand for that, as well.
It's being proven in other jurisdictions. The Yukon is doing it already, and they've increased their kilowatt per hour ability for net metering.
Can't the government make a commitment to at least look into this further, see what our sister territory is doing and why they're successful in this, and work towards us meeting our goals of reducing the cost of business, the cost of living, and getting off fossil fuel reliance? I think this would be a helpful. Can the Minister commit to that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
