Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Very briefly, I just feel that this motion is good for the economy. However, I will not support the motion. I think that this time with current state of economy and not knowing the full cost analysis of this and not knowing the impacts upon the cost that would be passed on to the communities…I do have a PPD community in Lutselk’e and also not knowing the impacts it would have on a private entrepreneur in a place like Fort Resolution to be able to purchase fuel if we were to have this type of restriction imposed upon the government and the government being a big purchaser of fuel. I don’t know what the impacts are is the bottom line. I know that it probably will be good for the economy, but at the same time I don’t want to see this as something that is a very immediate concern for our communities, the cost of living and so on. I don’t want to see the cost of living increase as a result of a motion that we make here in the House today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
