Overall, when we're looking at a strategy, we would like to see something similar, probably, to the way the Canada Infrastructure Bank would be guided. That is something we're also looking for, a strategy that would be comprehensive, that would look towards opportunities to actually create more trade-enabling infrastructure. As a caveat to that, we would probably also be looking more towards resiliency infrastructure as well.
When we think about northern development, we see a lot of opportunities. There's an opportunity in terms of climate change mitigation, well in advance. As we try to respond to the transition to a global economy, sort of transition to a lower-carbon economy, there's certainly also an opportunity to pair that infrastructure development with further support of mining in minerals, especially when it comes to the minerals and resources that are going to be key to the transition to a lower-carbon economy, from precious metals and onward.
Increasingly, as well, there are opportunities for those linkages to be used to get those communities off diesel, which is often their primary power source. In terms of net emissions reductions for Canada's overall emissions, that isn't huge, but what is huge is bringing down the costs for businesses to operate in northern communities, as well as creating the conditions for more stable fibre optic infrastructure. That would be part of that infrastructure process, to make sure that our northern and remote communities are digitally connected. That is going to be key to participating in the global economy as it matures.
