Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I apologize to Mr. Yakeleya. He asked a question about energy and all the sunsets. In fact, as the Member pointed out, the end of March is the end of all that $60 million we’ve devoted to alternative energy over the last four years. One of the things we are as a government working on to be ready for business plans and for the main budget is to see, given our very tight financial circumstances, what we can do to look at the various initiatives that were underway. It’s the same with strategic initiatives. There are a number of initiatives that are sunsetting. We are looking at how do we manage to put money into these critical areas, given, as I indicated, some of the cost pressures we’re under. Some of the work that was done on strategic initiatives and in energy I believe everybody would concur needs to continue. Our challenge now is to be able to come forward through the business planning process with trying to identify funds, if available, and try to address some of those issues. That work is underway. It’s not concluded but we are gearing up to be able to have that discussion because those are two critical areas of concern and interest. Thank you.
