Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There was just one change actually, and that was to clarify that seniors who maintain a residential land lease with the Department of Lands were eligible for the subsidy. What I want to maybe inform the Member is that we're actually going through a review, and we did get a lot of concerns from almost all the Members during our sitting earlier this year about the threshold levels, the amount of fuel that elders can receive. As the temperature drops below zero throughout the North, we want to make sure that this program is providing the best services to those in need, the seniors. We've actually got a working group right now that's reviewing this particular program. We're looking at income threshold levels, we're looking at the zones for communities, fuel allocations, and looking at ways to make it easier for seniors to access the program as well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
