Interestingly, one of the reasons I went to Rimouski was that at the time it was the only university in Canada that was offering research in wind energy at the Ph.D. level. That was only starting about eight years ago, so it shows that we have been a little bit behind when it comes to R and D in this area.
What we have proposed—and we have proposed it to the federal government several times—is a program specifically for remote communities that would incent this. We were looking specifically at wind, but I think the price of solar has come to the point now that you would be foolish not to include solar in that type of program. It would be modelled after NRCan's ecoENERGY for Renewable Power program, which was a very successful federal program encouraging renewable energy across Canada, but it would have something tailored to remote communities that is specific for their needs. This would mean that there is a capital component, which would help these small communities leverage financing, as well as a production incentive.
I would be more than happy to table for the committee the work we have done on that particular policy.
