Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Subsidies do reduce the cost of living. All of our programs are targeted at different people with different needs, whether it is housing, income security, senior housing, SFA, even health programs. If he is asking if we are going to be writing a cheque to 42,000 people tomorrow, he is probably not going to find that.
But we are looking at investments in commercial power subsidies. For many communities the cost of goods is a big issue, and if we could help with the cost of power for businesses, we are hoping that might help out in some way. The territorial power subsidy applies to everybody.
I just want to inform the Member and the House that I am the lead Minister for this committee. We work together with member Ministers, but the specific proposals with dollars and projects and details about what we are proposing will be presented to the Members for review in the next business cycle, which begins in November. We have to submit it.
