Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The policies regarding sole-source contracts are set out in policy and the Premier has already indicated there’s a willingness to review those if there are any discussions required or amendments required. The Petroleum Products Act will be a much needed modernization and will have to link into some of the things we are doing, for
example, with tax shifting, with the work we intend to do with revisiting and updating our Greenhouse Gas Strategy to make sure that going forward we have an act that reflects the current thinking and demands and pressures of the 21st Century. The
same goes for the issue of carbon pricing, was we look at our tax mix, as we look at our Greenhouse Gas strategy, that discussion and debate has to be entered into. That may take some time given the sensitive nature of the reaction that tends to provoke in just about every quarter when it’s portrayed as a tax. Some of the things that are happening south of us with the politics both in the United States and Canada, that may impact on where we’re going as a country with carbon pricing.
Those are all issues that there is work to be done on over the next coming months remaining in this 16th Assembly. Thank you.
