We have every intent of respecting the jurisdictional responsibilities of municipalities and provinces and territories, but we still think there's a role for the federal government, with our research capacity, our experience in delivering national programs in energy efficiency and renewable energy, and our ability to bring organizations together. We've been providing some support to QUEST, because we see QUEST as being very effective at bringing together different actors in the economy, including some provincial and municipal folks, and we can bring them together of our own accord. We would do that rather than work on this unilaterally.
I'd just like to point out that one of the key things we're doing to support community integrated energy solutions is bringing together all of the provinces, territories, and the federal government to do a year and a half's work of very detailed thinking about the policies and programs that would be helpful to further this kind of work. The end result will be a road map for those jurisdictions. While it's aimed at those two jurisdictions, it will have some benefits also for the municipalities, and we would certainly be sharing our learning with the municipalities, as we have already invited them to join us to think about this.
So I think there is a role for the federal government to provide certain thinking, certain support, certain collaboration, and we would certainly not forget our colleagues in the other jurisdictions.
I'm just going to wave around this document, published by the Council of Energy Ministers in 2008. The document is on energy efficiency writ large, covering all of the sectors of the community and how we can forward and further energy efficiency. And we wrote it together. Federal-provincial-territorial energy ministries all got together and agreed to a document of about 40 pages, which is no mean feat for us, coming from our very different perspectives. So we would like to do the same thing on the narrower focus of community energy systems.
