Mr. Speaker, I believe the policy in place isn't a tool that departments or those interested in purchasing vehicles use to try and get a product over $50,000. Ultimately, the budget for the department doesn't grow because they've added to it. In fact, if it gets added onto the capital plan requirements, vehicles fall very low in the order of importance when it comes to the capital plan. So if they go into that category, more than likely they are not going to get a vehicle unless it's an absolute emergency. So we come up with that number and that policy for reasons of being able to account for things in this forum. Again, with the concerns around energy and how we purchase vehicles, that will be taken into consideration. We will start looking to see how we can implement some of these changes. Thank you.
