Mr. Menard knows this particular area because we've talked about it in the past. It has to do with water delivery subsidies to tax-based municipalities. As you know, in my constituency, there is really a community within a community, in old town, Dettah, and Ndilo which are based on water delivery. Now, what's happened is, in the last three years, the city has really changed their system so now I think the way it works is we pay a dollar a gallon up to 3,800 gallons a month and then $6 a gallon after that. The average consumption in Yellowknife is around 5,500. If you live in Old Town and use 5,500, you pay $200 a month for water. Now, my question is, how does the subsidy fit in to the equation?
