Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a question that applies to all of these increases. The briefing note explains that there was no increase for fuel in this current year’s budget for all of these departments. My question to the Minister, I guess, is that it sounds as though we have adjusted our amounts going forward, future years, sounds as though we are planning to budget enough dollars to cover what we expect to incur in fuel costs. I guess my question would be: is that correct? Are we now stabilized going forward with this additional funding for fuel? Have we added enough money in our 2010-11 budget so that we’re not going to run into this problem in future years? I’ve raised this issue a number of times in regard to fuel increases. It seems that we are woefully inadequate in projecting and budgeting our costs for fuel. The bottom line is are we stabilizing as we go forward? Thank you.
