Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What's happening here is we haven't rescinded the previous decision. I think this debate was had in the House. I remember specific questions from the Member at that point about it, and obviously our feeling was, as it related to install in communities, we would leave the BIP in place because there was a chance to have value added, there was a chance there would be northern employment out of this. But our feeling was that if the BIP was simply going to be applied so that northern home distributors could make a phone call to Edmonton and get trailers sent up, that there wasn't a lot of value added there and that that was not the best use of public money. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
