Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the area of managing petroleum services, the department looks after the petroleum revolving fund in providing petroleum services to communities that are not presently served by the private sector.

One of the things that is of concern to everyone around the world is the uncertain and escalating price of fuel. I am wondering if the Minister could provide us with a picture on what the department might estimate the impact of the increasing cost of fuel products would be for the government as a whole? Would the Minister be able to help us out there? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
