Thank you, Mr. Chair. Give me a second here and I’ll get the breakdown of positions. As we’re looking for the actual specifics, we’ve got a number of petroleum products division staff. We’ve got a couple located here in Yellowknife, including the director, but the vast majority of the staff in the petroleum products division is located in Fort Simpson, in the Deh Cho. We’re still looking for the exact numbers. Once we get that, we’d be happy to provide that to you.
As Members know, when it comes to the petroleum products division, we work on a cost-recovery basis, not a profit basis where the price of fuel in each of the communities is determined by what we’re able to purchase it for and we’re always looking for the lowest price, what it costs to ship it to whichever community it happens to be going into – we provide it in 16 communities – applicable taxes, some evaporation rates, which are quite small, and then there is a little bit of an operations cost that we put on to provide money to provide to a community vendor who is providing the distribution of the fuel, whether it’s home heating diesel or whether it’s fuel for vehicles in the community. So we work completely on a cost recovery.
We do have some prices here, if the Members are interested in that, on what it actually costs us in each community. Those prices usually change once a year based on the price of fuel when we bring it in. So we do have all the price information, I’m happy to share with the Member, as well, but as far as staff, a few of them are here in Yellowknife, the vast majority are in Simpson. Sorry, I don’t have the exact information. I will get the exact information on number of employees and where they’re located to the Members.
