Thank you, Mr. Chair. As the Member will know, we're rolling out our energy strategy. We're very open to getting territorial citizens and the industry off lowering our greenhouse gases as much as we can. We're trying to figure out a way to implement renewables into the system and at the same time balancing off costs.

I get the Member's point. I'd like to get some specifics around what he's thinking about, say give me an example of a specific system that someone wants to put into Yellowknife that they want to operate. At the same time, we still have to be very mindful of the costs of doing this. The federal government, as we have signed off our bilaterals there yesterday, we have an opportunity to shift our whole economy around this energy, the way we continue to use it. I think there is a great opportunity to be able to do that moving forward.

At the same time, back to the Power Corporation, I have to protect their costs moving forward. I stood up in the House here the other day and said the amount of subsidies that we gave the Power Corporation to offset their costs on low water and these sorts of things, it's millions of dollars, and, if we were to continue to allow, particularly in the hydro communities, more and more renewables onto the system, it would put more pressure on the Power Corporation to supply power at a reasonable cost. It's going to drive up subsidies, as well.

We are open to this. I am not trying to get into a debate with the Member, but I think this is a very complicated situation. We are willing to look at all things, of how we can try to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and get off of diesel across the whole system. So we are willing to look at that through the energy strategy. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
