Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, Mr. Speaker, I will speak to the deputy minister about it and we will go out and talk to our regional staff and have them engage in a discussion with regional businesses. I think we can use the chambers to help us with some of this, to ask them about some of the challenges of doing business and see if there aren't some ways that we can bring costs down. Of course, the Member is right; we want to make sure if there is some way to reduce input cost, that that is passed on, in terms of prices of food, passed onto our consumers, especially in our smaller communities where it's, obviously, very, very expensive to buy groceries. I think energy is an obvious one, one of the first things that comes to mind and we can do some work in that area. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
