I had my hand out before we went to total activity. Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Minister, in the communities in the eastern Arctic where we are providing fuel tank construction and mobile equipment, what is his department doing as an initiative to encourage privatization, as opposed to the government building and providing these tanks? Are they encouraging entrepreneurs in these tasks? I'm trying to find out if there are any long-term plans to encourage this being done by private enterprise? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We own all tankage in the Northwest Territories we are involved in, except for in Cambridge Bay. That is privatized. That has cost us an extra 21 or 22 cents a litre because it is private. We have just made an adjustment for that. All our deliveries are private. People have private contracts to deliver the fuel. The tanks are owned by the government. We are looking at the whole issue of POL pricing and cross-subsidies, and we should be done that by the end of the year.

What were you looking at? I'm sorry, there was another conversation going on here and I couldn't hear the last part of what you were saying.

We're looking at the cross-subsidy program and the prices of fuel people are paying in the communities, and how we get the fuel to those communities.

I am thinking about the larger communities where the private companies own these types of fuel tanks. I know we're on the highway system and we can get the fuel on a short-term notice, as opposed to the eastern Arctic. But, even though they are privatized, I'm wondering if there is any long-term planning to look at privatization of these fuel tanks and the whole delivery of fuel in the smaller communities?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are looking at the delivery and pricing portion. But, we are not considering selling the existing fuel tankage at this time.

Can the existing fuel tanks and the equipment that goes with it be considered along with privatization of petroleum products?

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.
