Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to make a comment about some of the energy issues that I see in this activity, when we get into the program detail. I notice there has been a reduction in the amount we are spending on energy conservation, energy management, the contribution to the Arctic Energy Alliance, while it is not significant... I just wanted to raise the issue that given the rise in the cost of oil lately, this may be not the best way to go. We should be looking at increasing our expenditures in the area of environmental protection, in order to ensure that we are getting some good plans for how to save energy that this government can then find a way to spend more economically in using its energy. This is more of a comment then anything else, Mr. Chairman.
