Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to set the record straight, Madam Speaker. The changes that were made by Cabinet do not affect residents. They don't affect residential units or home owners in small communities. There are a couple of things that were done with this particular decision. With questions and discussions held by a number of Members in this House who represent cities, towns or villages, the department was asked to equalize the subsidy rate in cities, towns and villages, which, in effect, this decision did. However, the decision did not affect any residential units in any community. The only effect that this decision that was made by Cabinet earlier this month had, was a slight increase to commercial users in the communities. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
