I just think that if it can be looked at, you would encourage some significant private entrepreneurship. You would encourage organizations and corporations in the communities. You would allow for a sense of ownership for one of the fundamental needs in the community, even if you look at privatization of tanks and equipment. Not only will they take pride in looking after the equipment, but the costs wouldn't be as horrendous to the government. I think you should try to find a method to phase out of it, because it happens in all the larger communities. I think it would be of significant benefit to the members of smaller communities to look at privatizing petroleum products.
