Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm in agreement with my colleague, Mr. Braden. I don't think the communities people that are not on income support are and are not in public housing can afford full cost of fuel. Mr. Chairman, we've been in business as a government for a while now. We can almost predict what kind of subsidy is required to maintain affordable fuel for people in the community.

Mr. Chairman, one of the cost drivers in this area is the management of the revolving fund. There are 11 employees that manage that. I think we've come to a time and age where we could reduce that and just give the ownership and responsibility to individuals or community corporations in these smaller communities with a subsidy managed by the Financial Management Board. That will, in my opinion, save a million dollars a year right off the top just on salaries alone. I think that if we could realize those savings and give a larger role to the communities, it would be a positive step, recognizing that there is continued subsidization required. If we could give some kind of comfort with some kind of agreement to these communities, I think they will be open to it. Any other cost associated with global politics then could be addressed by the business entity at community level and would not have to go through the Financial Management Board and all the political hoops that we have to go through to do so. I would make that recommendation to the Minister to explore that possibility. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
