Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, within the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation, there's always been concerns about the rising cost of electrical power and heating fuel usage to all their rental units. I believe I've offered up suggestions as to how to combat the fuel usage and the rising cost of the diesel fuel in the past by incorporating wood pellet boiler systems to their units as a central unit which is when a central heating system is set up, it can heat up to multiple units. And I'm not talking about the apartment buildings. This is like replacing -- if you have five house, you have five furnaces, five fuel tanks, that's a lot of fuel usage. When you put a central heating system, like a wood pellet boiler, you can connect all five units which is saving you, you can realize significant savings then. Because, you know, biomass district heating systems reduce reliance on imported fuels, reduce fuel consumption and provide, you know, significant savings overall to the utility costs. And it's known to cut greenhouse gas emissions which we're trying to reach at some point. And we're just not getting there with housing.

I recall back in 2014, I'm just recalling from memory, that we sent a few ministers, or MLAs at that time, to Norway to look at the wood pellet boiler systems and I think it was to introduce them into the NWT. Mind you, those two MLAs, or Ministers, were Ministers of Housing Corporation at some point. But nothing was ever incorporated at that time which is quite surprising considering, you know, the rising cost of living to all residents of the Northwest Territories, even people that rent. And it just shocks me that we haven't even contemplated that yet. We're in the 19th Assembly. And with that, I'm going to have questions for the Minister of Northwest Territories Housing Corporation at the appropriate time. Mahsi.
