Mr. Chair, I must apologize for this question, but I ask for clarity's sake to both the representatives from the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. I keep hearing about how industrial users—government users—are switching to pellets for their heating. I have lived in both Whitehorse and Yellowknife for short periods of time, and from my perspective, considering how much it costs to ship fuel up north, why wouldn't it be cheaper for everyone to use pellets?
I understand if you have an infrastructure set up, but for someone who is building a new residence or facility, are the costs comparable or why on an economic basis is not everyone converting over to biomass wood pellets in the territories for heating?
First to the Yukon and then to the NWT.
