Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the stabilization fund, as it's set up, would not address community-by-community specifics. What we would look at doing, as we have done in this case, is to look at the total amount of the product cost and how much of an impact that would have. We set an across-the-board 10-cent reduction in the price of home heating oil. So in each community it isn't set at a flat rate, either. The cost of that product to get to that community is 100 percent cost recovery as we go forward here. Every community would pay for the price of the product, the

shipping and the contract of that community to have it delivered. So we wouldn't necessarily do it where one community saw a drastic increase and try to address just one community situation. Because the product price across the board has gone out so much, we looked at implementing just a 10-cent reduction on the home heating oil across the board. So that's for every community we service through the petroleum products division.

The formula that we would look at is based on when resupply is done; we would look at the amount of increase and look at the affordability issues. In this case, we focussed on home heating oil because home heating oil is essential compared to gas for vehicles, and so on. So that is why we've targeted the 10-cent reduction for home heating oil. For more detail on the stabilization fund, when you do receive costs or refuelling happens and the ratios used, I can have Mr. Aumond provide more detail if committee members want.
