Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a few questions with regard to budgeting for fuel prices. I am a bit concerned about this for a number of reasons. The figure just on increases alone in this supp is $2.22 million and that's just on increases. If that is just on increases alone, does the Minister of FMB have any idea of what the government spends on an annual basis in terms of fuel? How is this budgeted for in the document that we just approved yesterday? What do they base their assumptions on? Is it the gas prices a year ago? How do they do that? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this result is coming to us because we have, in a number of past years, told departments that they needed to come back with actual costs versus that of doing some forecasting. Budgets are built on an actual price as we prepare the budgets. As an example, the letters go out to departments in June to start preparing their budgets. They would build their information on the available cost of the day and they would also come forward and ask for forced growth and that could include areas such as fuel and electrical costs. They would review those within FMB and FMBS and at times we would tell them, because the volatility of the market was so much, we would rather just deal with it after the fact because of the prices jumping. In this case, we have seen the price of

crude oil increase about 31 percent since 2002. That's why we are seeing this come forward in this way. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The sum of $2.2 million; what period of time does that represent? Does that represent an entire calendar year or a portion of a calendar year? How does that work, Mr. Chairman?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The request for the $2.2 million is to cover the 2004-05 year. As I stated earlier, when departments came in with the last budget request, we denied forced growth in these areas until we could substantiate if the prices would stay as high as they were going and that's why we see this coming forward. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Does the Minister know what the GNWT spends on an annual basis in terms of fuel? What do we spend on an annual basis for everything?
