We have short-term and long-term hopes. The short-term hope was always that we would somehow get off diesel. That has been something we've worked on over the past 10 years, but we still have a very long way to go for our communities. We want to be leaders in climate action. Diesel is one of the most polluting ways to provide energy to communities. We hope we can still continue to work with the Government of Canada and with the jurisdictions in which we live to get off diesel.
We also have solutions for community energy needs that we hope to develop with the government. The two that I'll recognize again are the M-18 project in the Inuvialuit region, which would supply natural gas to communities in that region. It would also supply natural gas to any of the military's interests. There's also the Kivalliq hydro-fibre link project in the central part of Nunavut and the Iqaluit hydro project, which was just announced. These are just a few of the many different proposals or ambitions that our Inuit communities have to get off diesel and to provide sustainable and cheaper forms of power.
The role that we'd like to play within the export.... Obviously, right now we are not an Atlantic or Pacific route for energy export, but as the world looks north and as climate change makes the Northwest Passage and other areas of passage within the Arctic more feasible from an economic standpoint than ever before, we know that these complex considerations are coming to us. We would like to work directly with proponents, wherever the jurisdictions might be in this country, to ensure that if there are LNG or other oil and gas exports through our homeland, we have agreements in place and that we meet all of the necessary requirements under our land claims for environmental assessments, but that we are also meaningful partners in that work.
