When we contemplated the commercial subsidy, the structure of the commercial subsidy hadn’t been determined either. We had discussions about what would that money best be put towards. Would it be best put towards incentives to encourage stores to be more energy efficient as opposed to just a subsidy? I agree with the Member that subsidies on their own, as we’ve seen with the Territorial Power Support Subsidy, for example, it grows and I think the Member and I are interested in doing the same thing. The final determination of what these funds will be targeted for will be determined, I would suggest to you, in May and shortly thereafter once we have a chance to collectively look at what’s being put on the table and what consensus can be reached in terms of moving forward.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just one question. Under other expenses, contractor services, I see an almost doubling of costs there. I am wondering what the target of those dollars is. Thank you.
