Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are directed to the Minister responsible for PPD, petroleum products division. It’s in regard to the price of products, especially in the community I represent of Tsiigehtchic where the price of gas is $1.71 a litre, yet it’s a government-run operation.
I understand there’s a $5 million Petroleum Revolving Fund that’s there to subsidize these isolated communities to allow them to have a price that’s close to being competitive with the regional markets. I’d like to ask the Minister why it is that we are not using the Petroleum Revolving Fund to offset the high cost of petroleum products in those communities that we have an operation.
