Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, with regard to the utilities, I am just wondering whether or not the department has been looking at ways of not only taking care of the environment, but also looking at ways of cutting costs on utilities. Have there been any initiatives made in that area?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is ongoing all the time. We have a program to make houses more energy efficient, as well as replacing obsolete furnaces, putting in energy efficient furnaces, windows, and just generally informing people on how to save power as well as cut down on fuel. We will, this winter, be trying to encourage staff people to bank their units where possible.
