There is a project that is one of the 17 we have put forward to the Major Projects Office. It's the the Kivalliq hydro-fibre project, which would bring hydro from Manitoba to the central Nunavut communities, to places like Rankin Inlet, Arviat and those areas. We see that as a potential really positive step in ensuring that we can get our communities off diesel, but we'd also have the energy that is necessary to build our communities, whether it be through natural resource projects or just the natural expansion of our communities.
We also have been working with government grants to ensure that we have diversified our energy outputs. Even if we still have diesel, if we have wind and solar to supplement it, that gives us a slightly lower cost. Also, it gives us redundancy, so that we're not dependent on a single source.
All those things are important within our small communities, but we also understand the national importance for not only the production of energy but also for energy export. We remain willing and hopeful that we can play a significant role in doing that.
I'll also reference the M-18 project, which is a project in Tuktoyaktuk, or the area of Tuktoyaktuk, in the Northwest Territories, in our Inuvialuit region. It's just coming online. It has a 125-year life expectancy and it is also hoping to link in with the needs of the newly discussed forward operating site in Inuvik. We hope to also have energy solutions for the Government of Canada as militarization and sovereignty considerations appear.
