Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the area of petroleum products, notification was sent out to Members, and notification was given out to communities, that an increase was coming effective April 1st. That increase is a result of two things. First, we have gone to a full cost recovery model for pricing of products in communities. That means that the cost of delivering that product to a community is what is going to be charged at that community going forward. In the past, there was a different model used where some communities that had larger volume sales were offsetting the higher costs in the smaller communities. That is no longer happening. We are going with full cost recovery in every community. Secondly, the resupply situation that has happened over the summer has added a further increased cost to the product itself. That is also being reflected in this recent change. Thank you.
