Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that the situation regarding the bacteria in the fuel that has been found in Iqaluit, that could also be present in other communities, is a direct result, as Mr. Arlooktoo now has just said, of buying the cheapest fuel available. Mr. Speaker, there is a point in time when we have a fiscal reality and we should look at economies of scale and buying the cheapest product. In this case, it now seems that we have fungus and bacteria in the fuel. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister for Public Works tell me if the result of the fungus and bacteria is because there is a large amount of water in the cheap fuel that has been purchased?
