Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In reviewing some of the documentation that has been provided by the Minister and his department, it seems the decrease of the commercial subsidy is obviously going to affect commercial enterprises. In one statement, they cite examples of commercial users and how they will be affected. They say that the Northern Store in Aklavik will go be going from $31 to $39 and there are a couple of other examples of Northern Stores in the communities. Although I recognize that the Northern Stores are commercial users, they are very minimal users, I would take it, of water consumption in the communities because they are retail operations.

I would like to ask if they've looked at some of the larger operations, such as hotel operators and restaurant operators, those which are higher consumers of water services in the communities, and what effect the decrease in the commercial subsidy will have on their businesses? Thank you.
