Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will try to be brief in describing where this situation is right now. We in the department were instructed to consider working with NTPC to see whether or not it would be feasible for them to take on petroleum products as a whole, not just community by community, but all the petroleum product responsibilities of the department. We were instructed to come back to the Financial Management Board Secretariat with some form of recommendation. We have reached the stage now where we are in the process of doing that. It will be in the next little while, I would say in the next month, that we will be making a recommendation to the Financial Management Board Secretariat in regards to NTPC taking on all the activities of petroleum products. At that time, we would be better be able to respond at what we are going to do from that stage on, whether we get direction to proceed with NTPC privatization or privatization through individual companies or corporations. I cannot respond to the Member, but in another month's time we will have a decision on the matter. Thank you.
