Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So this request, and again, this will be a current theme throughout this one, because a number of departments have asked for an increase in this area, so in fact, we will, in this specific area, to provide funding for forced growth and expenditures resulting from significant increases to the cost of heating fuel in the Northwest Territories.
Seeing that and tying it to the Minister's own comments in this House about fuel prices dropping when Members raised the concern about some of the higher costs, how does that tie together? You passed this budget in April of 2001 and the season was just starting to warm up at that point. Now we are just getting to the colder months and in fact, the prices have dropped.
On one hand, we are asking for more money. The Minister stated in the House that fuel prices have dropped. What specific area we are seeing the demand in here?
