Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With regard to the power subsidy, in light of the increases, especially in a lot of our smaller communities where we see a major influx because they use the argument of fuel causing the power rates to go up and what not, is that something that will be considered or built into the power subsidy?

I think if anything, maybe that is a good reason the Power Corporation does consider taking on POL, because of the cost and other factors that are out of our control. If there is a way we can have a stable power supply, it will assist when we look at the power subsidy, especially for small communities. At least it will be consistent and we would not have a fluctuation in the power rates.

I would like to ask the Minister, have you looked at that as a possibility, in light of the Power Subsidy Program? That way, we can have some continuity or insurance that we are not going to see any large spikes or fluctuations, especially in small, isolated communities, due to other factors.
