Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I look forward to a supplementary appropriation to support Arctic Energy Alliance and the good programs that it offers.
But I want to switch gears and move to probably some higher level questions around energy and strategic initiatives. I raised this with the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources and was told that this was something that he wasn't really responsible for.
So when I look at the GNWT energy initiatives report for 2021 and the forecasts of greenhouse gas reductions, by the year 2025 we will have only reached 20 percent of the target that was set through the Pan-Canadian Framework. And so we have to reach another 80 percent reductions in the last five years. So I always complained about how the last Cabinet's approach was back end loaded, and it's coming true.
So what is the department doing about making sure that GNWT, or the Northwest Territories more properly, meets the Pan-Canadian Framework, because the current energy strategy is failing and failing quickly. Thanks, Madam Chair.
