Thank you, Minister Moses. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks to the Minister for that reply here. That leads to my other question that the Minister touched on here. I was going to encourage the Minister to give a strong consideration in viewing the end product that's already in Deline and witness the consumption and reductions through the receipts of the utility bills for those homes and schedule a manufacturing conference or meeting in Deline with some of the potential manufacturing in the North. Would the Minister commit to initiating that workshop, if you want to call it, in Deline between the Deline Got'ine Government...

Thank you, Minister Sebert. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Minister Sebert. Deputy minister Goldney.

Thank you, Mr. Martin. Ms. Green.

Mr. Speaker, following up to my statements on the innovation of new technology coming north, it is a far advancement to the cabin dad had.

My first question here is: if the SIP panels are such an innovative proven technology with reductions to the utility costs of the homes, what is the NWT Housing Corporation doing with this proven technology for continuance to the SIP model homes? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Minister Sebert. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, deputy minister Goldney. Mr. Simpson.

Thank you, Mr. Martin. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are seeing positive results from the SIP panel models in the energy-efficient homes recently seen in four Sahtu communities.

Mr. Speaker, this model can prove and is seeing reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and support our local manufacturing industry.

The four units, as mentioned, in the Sahtu have seen fuel reduction in the neighbourhood of 30 percent. These cost savings are then passed on to the tenants, a truly win-win example of innovation. Later I will have questions for the appropriate Minister. Mahsi.
