Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I hope the committee is as hopeful as I am personally with respect to the direction that is being taken here on integrated community energy systems. I'm extremely excited about this.
First of all, to our representatives from NRCan, is there specific seed money that would help with strategic planning circles involving utilities, involving private sector developers who may own a very large piece of land, particularly in an urban area but also perhaps in a rural area, bringing them around the table to develop a strategic, high-value-added, sustainable development energy plan for a particular development? Does a program exist through NRCan to that effect?
