I don’t have any more questions here. As the Minister has pointed out, I see this as a misallocation of dollars. We know that costs are going up rapidly. We need to be putting these dollars into ways of actually reducing costs for our people rather than hiding costs so that the taxpayers take on what the ratepayers have in the past. I’d much sooner see us reduce the real costs of power so that the ratepayers are paying lower costs and everything’s aboveboard. That’s just a comment. I think we all know that these costs are going to soar as our fossil fuels increase. I know that the government’s working on that. I think what we can understand here is that we’re not working fully in cognizance of that by engaging in these incredibly consuming activities to hide subsidies and increase subsidies when we should be putting that into actually reducing real costs. Just a comment.
