Mr. Speaker, yes, we are looking at ways we can do things better and more efficient. We're looking at trying to incorporate some hybrid vehicles. We do have plug-ins in the communities that allow us to use them. We're looking at smart programs, smart driving programs for our employees that will require them to shut off their vehicles rather than leaving them running. We're looking at putting remote heaters in some of our larger equipment so they don't have to idle for long periods of time. So there's a number of things we're doing. We're also trying to incorporate alternate energy systems for heat in some of our new buildings and we're looking at pellet stoves and all these types of initiatives. We're trying to do a number of things and this was one of them. We've, as I said earlier, moved away from it. It was not an attempt to increase the fees, as the paper has interpreted it, but was rather to target trying to reduce the fees for registration for people that are taking the initiative to buy or have vehicles that are energy efficient. Thank you.
