Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for Minister Roland with respect to the Territorial Power Support Program to offset the high cost of power in the communities that are on diesel generated power. Mr. Speaker, this program has been in place for a while now and it is an attempt to level the rates for the small communities. I believe for residential consumers it's to bring the rates down on the first 700 kilowatts of power consumed in a month, and for small business for the first 1,000 kilowatts of power used. Mr. Speaker, I would like to know what the government has done to prepare and anticipate for there being a rise in the cost of this subsidy program in view of anticipated riders because of the high cost of fuel, if the government has built this into their financial plans. Thank you.
