Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have some initiatives underway. For example, if we bring forward and all agree to a rate restructuring that will lower the cost of living in the smaller communities through lowering power rates, then we will be in a situation of being able to positively affect the whole food basket. I also would suggest that we are better off to leave this money in the budget where it now is, and the Minister has indicated that most of it is going to go to the communities and he has indicated his willingness to work with committee on this. I think it is important that we consider leaving it in the budget and working forward from here. Once money is removed, it is always very difficult to...(inaudible)...that it is going to go back into a different place. So I would encourage Members to support to keep this money in the budget. Thank you.
