Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, if you look at the process we're involved with on an annual basis, we've now worked with the Power Corporation and are pulling them into this solution where there's bulk buying with savings for both sides. Initially, just with PPD, the communities we served, it's in the area of -- and I believe it's in the budget documents -- $12 million annual sales. As I stated in my comments, a one cent change in price per litre can affect us by $250,000. So on one hand, if we can get this through and be able to buy on a future market and save ourselves two or three cents, that's a significant amount of dollars we can save, and in a sense that would be directly passed on to the consumer. Just as if the price is high, we've had to pass on that extra cost. Thank you.
