Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as I stated earlier, we did provide departments relief through previous supplementary appropriations to cover their increased costs for I guess a certain time period where we'd come to a position where we had to increase our budgets without adjusting the long term. It was felt at the time that because of the volatility of the market, that we had to give it some time to see if, in fact, things were going to continue to climb or settle down. As we see it now, the prices did get very high there for a bit and have come down a certain degree, but we feel, at this point, it will remain at a higher level than was previously adjusted for and we've now come forward making the request to go forward on this.
I guess, as well, we should indicate in this area what we've done is we're adjusting the budgets for departments. We've given them this year's requests, but we've advised departments that they will get 50 percent of this increase going into the next budget year, but we expect them to make some changes in their operations around the use of energy to make up the rest of the difference. Thank you.
