Right now, for any energy that's imported into the region, I would say that 95% plus of the revenue leaves the region. They're all imported fuels that are produced and brought into the region by others. This will totally flip that equation so that the Inuvialuit own subsurface to surface. All of that revenue will be generated and will stay in the region.
It will create job opportunities. For a region that's only several thousand people, we're seeing 100 to 200 local construction jobs, over 100 million dollars' worth of construction contracts for local businesses and 50-plus direct jobs—plus the indirect jobs—which is a substantial number when you're talking about a small community.
In terms of capacity building, it's difficult. Education is limited in the north. We have to work with southern partners.
