Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I believe that the seniors were looking for something further. They're owning their own houses and in the diesel communities, Mr. Chairman, they are paying quite a bit. I don't know if it's leaks in their system, but I'm telling the Minister they're only taking home $750 a month and their power bill is $250. That's far beyond what they can afford. They're asking if there's a way for us to subsidize the power elders are receiving, beyond the way it exists now. Is there some other supplementary way of doing it much like we're contributing towards our costs of...I think if we buy them one tank of fuel per year, can we do something like that for the elders? I think that one tank of fuel has a value of $500. Can we do that? Let's call it a $500 rebate for power to the elders. Can we look at that, Mr. Chairman?
