Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Knowing that there was going to be an increase from the fuel suppliers, and one of them is the Government of the Northwest Territories through POL, we in this House knew there was going to be a certain percent increase with regard to the cost of fuel that is sold in a lot of communities where we purchase fuel. So why at that time was that not built into the business plans of the different departments, knowing that was a set price made by this government? Do you not talk between departments and the POL to say exactly what the price of oil or price of gas is going to be next week or next month? It is a department of this government, yet very poor planning is done where you have to come through this process of asking for supplementary appropriation. That should have been built into the expenditures of the department knowing that was the case. Why was that not done?
