Thank you, Mr. Chair. I, too, will support this bill. I totally agree with my colleague from the Mackenzie Delta here on the smaller communities. Because of the high unemployment here, not a whole lot of people have the front-end capital to fund and install solar panels and then get a rebate later. Hopefully, the revenue generated by this will take that into account.
Other pilot projects such as the one done by the Yamoga Land Corporation in Fort Good Hope where they bought over 50 of these secondary combustible wood stoves and install them, sent two young fellows out to do the installation or get the training to do the proper installation, so many inches away from the wall sort of thing and the chimneys. If that could be looked at and maybe even look at some of these other energy-efficient appliances here.
For example, the older models, which are still currently supplied, the hot water tank, you have your hot water elements here burning 24/7 where that could be reduced for on-the-demand system of providing hot water in homes, which, therefore, reduces the amount of electricity to have hot water in your home when the taps are turned on. Those are just a couple of examples there that I am hoping that the operational side of this revenue would go towards things of that nature in the smaller communities where the employment is very desired by a lot of people but the opportunity to create those employment are very, very limited. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
