Several MLAs have raised the issue of high cost of fuel in the communities. Right now we’re quite limited. We can’t take it out of the Petroleum Revolving Fund as it’s only communities that are part of the program that qualify for the subsidy and it’s really actually money that they’ve paid into it. Given that these communities are serviced by a private supplier, it’s really, again, difficult to do anything. I certainly can appreciate the circumstances the community is in and I will undertake to raise that issue with the Minister of Finance as we look at any ways to lower the cost of living.
