Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  In the Northwest Territories, we have not at this point been looking at the small nuclear option. We don't see it being feasible within the next 10 years, though it is within our energy strategy and is something that we are looking at in the longer term. I would say, as Bruno and others have identified, that there is a sensitivity in the communities to the concept of nuclear.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  That's a very good question. With the ISED funding, we are looking at wind. The Inuvik wind project that I mentioned has been approved and is moving forward. We are looking at LNG, which is 30% less GHG. We are looking at interconnectivity, including transmission. We are looking at solar, and we already have a number of solar installations.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Good afternoon. My name is Jay Grewal. I'm the president and CEO of Northwest Territories Power Corporation, NTPC. Joining me today in Yellowknife is Paul Guy, chair of NTPC's board of directors and deputy minister of the Northwest Territories Department of Infrastructure. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today, not only about the challenge that we have here in the north, in terms of power generation and distribution, but also about the opportunities that will help stabilize the cost of energy and foster a clean growth economy, for the benefit of northerners and all Canadians.
