Mr. Chairman, the price of the fuel includes a subsidy. It is up to the Financial Management Board as to what we would charge in order to recover our costs. If the Financial Management Board indicates there should not be a subsidy, that is done by suggesting to us what we are going to charge.
However, we have been trying to identify the subsidy. We have taken the trouble to inform the communities as to the subsidy that is applicable to the price of fuel in their communities. We have identified that subsidy to them. Whether it is five cents, whether it is ten cents a litre, whatever.
What we as a department and I think as a government have been trying to do is identify all subsidies, including this particular subsidy, so we can see that it is applied where it is needed.
When we apply subsidies to fuel, it is included in the price of fuel. Anybody who buys at that pump is subsidized, which means some people who do not necessarily need a subsidy will be enjoying a subsidy.
Therefore, it is very important we identify the subsidies where they are being applied. That is what we have been trying to do, to identify these subsidies and where they are being applied. Thank you.
