Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this bill will not give us the flexibility of lowering the price if the product isn't moving. The policy we have in place is that the department has to recover its full cost of fuel delivered. So unless there's a private sector company that steps into a community and starts delivering fuel, we have to recover the cost of the actual fuel delivered.

What this bill will do for us is give us somewhat more certainty than we have right now in our ability to purchase the fuel. Instead of paying the right rack price, which can jump significantly in short periods of time, we can, if we see a trend occurring, buy on the future markets at a certain price and have that delivered and have some savings potentially there, and that savings would be passed on then to the customer. But it would not allow us to change the price from week to week, or month to month, that you would find in private market communities. Thank you.
