Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have a quick question on the stabilization fund, also. Just getting back to what the Minister was saying that communities are going to start paying 100 percent of what the actual product is to deliver to the communities, the stabilization fund that offsets projected losses and is not offset by revenue...It's to offset any changes to the cost in the communities. How would that happen in the first place? If you buy a product and you ship it to the communities and you put a price on it that's going to recover the cost or hopefully most of it, how would the price get changed? Even if the market changes, there was a cost that was incurred and the market really doesn't have any effect on the communities that are annually supplied unless the cost changes from year to year. How would that stabilization fund offset any changes that could happen during the middle of the year? I just don't see how it works. Maybe the Minister can clarify that for me. Thanks.
