Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The cost of oil in the western Arctic is pooled. The purchase arrangements made this year where the corporation worked in cooperation with Public Works and Services should mean no net significant difference in the cost of oil, other than what the market increase has been. In fact, the Power Corporation is expecting to receive an offsetting payment from Public Works

to balance out the extra cost for the heavy oil to the Inuvik region. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
