Mr. Speaker, we have a liquor revolving fund that is used for this purpose. There is a maximum to that revolving fund and we will purchase liquor with that fund. We are only into a few months of the new system where the retail stores own the liquor themselves. I have not seen any reports on it yet, but I expect that as a government, we are using less of that revolving fund than we were before, because the storeowners themselves are doing the purchasing directly. It just means the revolving fund is used less than it used to be. There are no savings for us, unless we were to put some limits on that revolving fund. It is a little bit early to do that right now. Thank you.
