Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am aware that, for example, in January 2000, speaking of this retail price stabilization fund, communities have their petroleum products delivered by Public Works and Services through this multi-year contract, increased by ten cents and then another 15 cents per litre in September of 2000. That again was the previous fiscal year and these business plans were being put together. That would have been the time they were being put together for this fiscal year and the price increases at that time were rather high.

I believe they were addressed as it was already targeted as an area of high cost and there was relief for high fuel costs that was put forward. A number of departments had put in for that and addressed that.

So during this fiscal year, during the business plans that were put head, we have seen a reduction in communities that are impacted by, as they call it, "rack price." There would be some immediate changes, either up or down.

However, those communities that are on the petroleum products contract that is put forward by Public Works and Services, would those not be fairly stable besides the specific areas the Minister mentioned, where some communities have it trucked in? Now that can be a whole number of communities, can it not? Why would it not be broken down in those areas or the communities that saw specific increases? Thank you.
