Natural Resources committee  Yes. I think that's a good answer. It blends with what I was saying a little bit earlier about it being applicable to all towns, to single-industry towns, and to a town where the arena is the big energy user. In terms of density, even main street, small town Canada provides a certain amount of density for shared systems and shared opportunities.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you. The savings vary according to the different projects and according to the different locations. But, as we were saying earlier, with respect to the project with Drake Landing, we are seeing savings pushing up to 100% on the space heating side of things. We're seeing similar potential savings in other environments, and it really depends on the approach that's taken and the target that is set by the individual community.
