Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, an unofficial survey of municipalities taken in 2000 indicated that there were very few persons with disabilities that would qualify for a fossil fuel subsidy. It is a difficult thing for municipalities to quantify.
However, in 2000 the municipality of Fort Smith had six people that would have been eligible, Inuvik had one person, and Hay River, to the best of my calculations, would have had less than a dozen. We are not dealing with a large group of people, Mr. Speaker, but we are dealing with a very large need.
I am aware, Mr. Speaker, that the Minister for Disabled People and the Minister for Seniors is Mr. Miltenberger. I would like to direct my questions to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.
I would like to ask the Minister, what programs does he currently have in place dealing in the area of a fossil fuel subsidy that could be accessible to persons with disabilities? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
