Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is with respect to fuel prices in the smaller communities. I believe it would be to the Minister of Finance. One of the big headlines in today's news was that the oil prices are continuing to drop and will drop in the next little future. But back home, in the communities like Jean Marie, Nahanni Butte and Trout Lake, the price is remaining high at $1.40. I would just like to know that this government will be responsive to the communities' request and equalize the prices like the rest of the world. Why should they be penalized for being in isolated communities; indeed, not only them, but throughout the North, Mr. Speaker? Is this government going to look at some type of relief for people that are stranded and have to pay these high prices? Mahsi.
