Thank you, Mr. Eggertson. It's good to have you with us this afternoon.
I must say some of the statistics you presented were quite illuminating, I suppose. The energy mix and what the energy is used for are similar in a northern context to a southern context, but you say we should all be looking toward using more renewables within that energy mix.
Should the federal government, which has primary responsibility at least in the territories, employ different strategies in terms of incorporating renewables in a northern energy mix, as opposed to some of the strategies that have been applied in the south? They don't always jibe, given geography, shipping issues, and things of that nature, so should we employ some different strategies in terms of encouraging people to move into the renewables, but more so in the north? Could you identify one or two barriers to the renewable energies that would be specific to the northern context?
I just want you to comment on the mining industry. It's had ups and down, but it's seeing some increase. There are many proposals on the table for various types of mining enterprises in the north. How do you see the renewables mix with the industrial sector, if you want to put it that way, such as the mining sector, as an example?
If you could answer those questions, I would appreciate it.
