Mahsi, Madam Chair. Mahsi for that. Regarding, you know, having a hard time getting the hours to meet their apprenticeship, you know, hours per year, that's not a problem when you have someone on staff that recognizes journeymen. You're on staff and you're on pay. So your hours are covered automatically too for the whole year. Because even I as just a housing maintainer, I was able to collect all my hours when I worked there when I was going to go challenge the OBM course but someone didn't allow me into the course for I don't know what reason. But anyways, the hours are not a problem to get. You can get that. And I know through preventative maintenance that when you go to service a furnace, there's four hours per furnace roughly. That's what it is, in the preventative maintenance check. In order to do a proper job on a yearly basis, you have to put in those hours because it's pretty detailed when you have to blow out the dust from all the squirrel cages and everything else. And then changing nozzles, and then you have to go back into getting the furnace to run smoothly again, which is a bit challenging. There is, you know, ample opportunities.

I always said in the Housing Corporation, you got opportunities galore to do whatever you want because you're doing flooring, you're doing basic electrical. You know, you're doing quite a bit - painting, everything. It was, you know, it was a love of my life at that time when I did maintenance, and I did it proudly, you know, and I don't see that now because I see, you know, fascia and eavestrough, everything, hanging and I'm just scratching my head saying what is going on here. You know, when I was working, that would never happen, you know, that wouldn't be allowed to happen. But anyways, so the hours are there for sure, and I'm glad that you will be looking at it but I really encourage you to really put some money to it and get these positions into communities, being mindful of the size of the appliances that we're working with. And it might be going against the water and gas inspectors. I don't know how come they -- I'm not saying much on that anyways.

I'm just wondering about the page 377, your heating fuel. I think you already know where this is leading. I know you probably get tired of me and my little wood pellet boiler stuff. But I'm going to tell you something here, you know, and I've said it before to the Minister numerous times, the wood pellet boiler system, because I was a project officer in Hay River, and we had a system put into Fort Providence Deh Gah School. And when I asked the fuel delivery guy after we had it installed I says, how much fuel are you actually pumping to the school now? He said well, prior to that, we were almost 3000 litres a month. Now, you know, we'd be happy if we even get 500 litres, he says, because the fuel system is acting as a backup now and the wood pellet boiler system is running as the main source right now. It's the peak season when it's really cold in the winter, then you have both systems going. But the majority of the time, wood pellet boiler is running all the time. So, you know, and that's why I speak about it, and you got, you know, 2600 units across the Northwest Territories and that's eating up $9 million, you know. Maybe the challenge to the corporation is let's see how we can reduce that amount and start looking at central systems in all the small communities. I would be more than glad to, you know, be the pilot project, you know, to put clusters of houses to one system, put another cluster of houses in the community, have four or five central heating systems if need be. But I would really, really encourage the corporation to give it a shot. Mahsi.
