Mr. Speaker, I understand that on April 10, 1991, the former Member for Baffin Central, Mr. Ipeelee Kilabuk, asked the Minister of MACA about the hunter subsidy for kerosene. At the time, the Honourable Tom Butters stated that he would not favour subsidizing the purchase of kerosene because it is an unstable heating fuel. Recognizing that this position has been taken by a past administration, what is the Minister's position on whether the Department of Social Services should subsidize elders who use kerosene as the primary source of heating fuel in their homes. Thank you.
