Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the area of $325,000 to provide funding for forced growth expenditures resulting from significant increases to the cost of heating fuel and power in the Northwest Territories, I can understand the power situation because of the rate rider that was put on and has impacted government as well as the residents of the Northwest Territories. However, I go back to the line of questioning I had yesterday in this supp about the high cost of heating fuel. By their own information provided by the Minister, it shows that in fact, from January to September, there were no price changes in all the communities that were supplied by the POL, as we call it, division of Public Works and Services.

In fact, the communities that are private delivery of home heating oil, a lot of those communities actually had a drop in the same numbers. There were some communities that stayed relatively the same, a few communities went up, other communities dropped. Again, and from the comments made by the Minister and his staff yesterday, in fact, the dollars here are expended. We are going to run short. We need this money but by his own information, it just does not jibe. Does he have new information as to the cost of heating fuel that is driving these expenditures and the request for more money for fuel? Thank you.
