Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as the Member pointed out, within this sitting we just passed a bill that would allow the petroleum products division within Public Works and Services to buy futures, as we would call them I guess, price hedging on the futures market on the commodities we need for our communities. That does give us, I guess, more tools in our toolbox to be able to try and lessen the impact of increased costs for fuel in the communities served by the petroleum products division. There is some risk in that. For example, if we just use the previous year's
occurrence, the price for a lot of our products, we know the trend for when increased prices come in and when they start to settle back down again. But this last year that we operated in and last summer we saw a lot of spikes and increases when traditionally it was fairly quiet. If we'd bought at a time when prior to that, we probably would have been pretty good. We would be okay in that area, but if we'd bought just as the market was climbing, and as we've seen now the market is starting to come back down, then we'd be on the other side of the equation. So it is a further tool. There is some risk to it and we're going to have to ensure as we prepare for our next resupply situation that we're watching the market to see if in fact there's a trend going one way or another, and if it would be wise to buy futures in that time, or would it be wise just to wait until we get closer to the date. I mean, there's some flexibility in the timelines we can do this. It's a matter of months to -- I could be corrected on this -- 18 months. Thank you.
