Certainly the greatest challenges we face are just our distance, our conditions, the lack of infrastructure in communities, and transportation networks. There are many, many challenges.
Some of our other challenges are education levels. Education levels are increasing all the time in the north, but there's lots more to be done. Certainly part of the role we play in the development of co-op employees and co-op leaders is to try to address some of the needs as far as education and training are concerned. Those are some of the challenges.
Another very significant challenge to any kind of a business in the north is utilities. Particularly in the territory of Nunavut, electricity is diesel-generated, and the cost of electricity can be as much as $1 per kilowatt hour. Consider that the cost of electricity in Ottawa is, I believe, probably 10¢ to 15¢ per kilowatt hour. It's about 7¢ or 8¢ in Manitoba. When you pay $1 or 75¢ a kilowatt hour, it is a huge barrier to food security. The cost of electricity has to be passed on to the consumer, and the availability of food is threatened as a result of that. That's just one example of infrastructure challenges in the north.
