Thank you. I still have a little bit left. Thank you. I'll go back again in terms of the costs of heating and gasoline fuel. Is there any way that government can step in at any certain point after privatization or can they reconsider taking back the delivery of service? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There may have been a way to impact on some of the prices during the initial phase of the transfer when the assets would still be GNWT assets; where there may be an option to get back into it if the company found that it was not feasible or if the working agreement was not honoured. In the particular case...(inaudible)...the transfer of the facilities has happened, an agreement was reached on that and followed through with. Once we've devolved ourselves of the assets, it is very limited in what we might be able to do in affecting the price. That would be much the same as if we were asked by...Aklavik would be another small community that's private sector, going in there and trying to impact on the prices. I understand in the smaller communities it is very expensive, but the policy has been and we don't have the tools to step in on the prices of products. A lot of times you'll find in the private sector area they'll operate with what they call rack price or it floats with the cost of the product and then add your transportation and other charges. What we found within our own area with the remaining communities we're involved with, the price of the product has gone up over the winter. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just one last one here in petroleum product. Once the department decides to privatize I'm just wondering if they take into consideration, it might be fine and well to go ahead and privatize say bulk petroleum products, but does the department consider if after two years if the company can prove that they can take care of the petroleum products, does the department consider a third year that things will not change after year three? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, what we do in a number of cases or in the past, again, we haven't got into privatization initiatives for a number of years now, but what was done in the past when a community or business would request that this be done and there was support for it, an agreement would be put in place. There would be a timeline established as well for the final transactions to happen and the company would take over full operations. I believe in the case of Tuktoyaktuk it was a five-year agreement that was in place, but after year four there was an agreement to proceed with the full transfer of the assets and liabilities. Thank you.
