Yes, Madam Chairperson. In regard to Fort McPherson we have a contract with the local co-op, not with Arctic Co-op Limited. That particular contract is for ten years. It runs until August of 2001. It was awarded, obviously, years ago so it has a bit of tenure left on it. In the community of Fort McPherson we provide only diesel services, no gasoline services are provided through the GNWT. There is a private distributor in the community. We do not compete with anyone in terms of gasoline sales. Further to that, I believe there is some consideration being given by the different groups within Fort McPherson to looking at an opportunity to amalgamate and to bring forward a proposal to perhaps provide the service independently of government and we have started some discussions with them on that matter.
