Mr. Chairman, we do not disagree that everybody will be affected by the toll, whether you are on the highway or off the highway. However, you will be affected at the rate that your commodity, whether it is fuel, whether it is dry goods, are transported on the highway system. Those communities, for instance, that get all their freight and all their fuel down the Mackenzie River will have no effect. It will all come to them the same as it did before. We do not charge for traffic on the river. If it comes by air, we are not charging them for traffic that comes by air. We are charging for commodities that are travelling on our highway system. There is no doubt that the Member's communities will be affected to some degree because some of the commodities travel on our highway system. So there will be an increase.

However, I believe that what the department did was make the government Cabinet aware of the situation. The Finance Minister has come out with a cost-of-living rebate that would offset this cost to some degree. Thank you.
