There are some short-term issues, mid-term and, of course, longer-term. The short-term issue is to try to get some assistance that’s going to bring down the cost of commercial power in the small communities that we hope will translate into direct cost savings in stores, affect the cost of the food basket, for example, including milk. The longer-term, mid-term, we are working...The $60 million that’s in the budget, with the exception of the nine for the subsidy program, are geared to replacing fossil fuels, to work with communities to come up with the technology and the planning to be able to allow us, as a government, to unfold across the North the replacement of all the diesel-generated electrical installations we have, be they biomass, mini-hydro, wind or geothermal. Thank you.
