Thank you, all of you.

Thank you for coming here to speak to us about your program. It is very helpful to know more about your organization.

I will ask Nunasi Corporation, to your knowledge, what indigenous-led initiatives or businesses should be considered and included in the planning, servicing and delivery of renewable energy projects in the north, which is very critical for a green transition? We need clean energy in the north because we lack infrastructure. Can you talk about renewable energy projects in the north?
