Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we took a look at the cost of fuel increases over the last year. If you take heating oil, it has increased from 41.4 cents to 57.4 cents in Yellowknife. It is different for every community, of course, but the amount of the increase for people in detached dwellings or in homes is roughly one-half of the estimated $640 increase that people would face in home heating costs on average. So on average, it is half of the average heating cost increase. In the case of apartment buildings, we had to look at it a bit differently and do an estimate based on the rental increases that have been put in place by landlords over the last winter. Thank you.
