Thank you, Mr. Chair. So the Stabilization Fund is really the positive or negative revenue we get through the sales of fuel. So once we determine our pricing and sell the fuel to the residents and consumers that we buy it from, we have to offset that with our operating costs. Our costs are based on the salary, the transportation costs, the cost of purchasing the fuel, and all those things. In any given particular year we could have lower than anticipated costs, so we'll end up with an excess in the Stabilization Fund, so that would be that we collected more money from our customers than we needed to deliver the program.

Conversely, if we have a situation where our winter roads are in poor condition so we have to take lighter loads and we have higher transportation costs, we may be selling fuel at a loss until such time we get the price change in effect.

So the Stabilization Fund, we're permitted by legislation to be plus or minus $1 million. We like to keep that fund at around plus $500,000. As you can see it's been creeping up a little bit, so the proposed deficit is really just to bring it back down into a range that's more comfortable for us, around that $500,000 range.

Again, that's a forecast; it's based on how much we think we're going to sell the fuel, how much we think it's going to cost to buy it. It's also forecast based on what our operating costs will be and a number of other factors. So it's a very conceptual number, if you like, when you get that far down. The only actual number in there, I think, is the closing balance of 2015-16. We have not yet finished this fiscal year so we don't even know what the 2016-17 closing balance in the fund will be. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
