Thank you, Madam Chair. That is correct. We have bought it at an earlier time and, therefore, we turn around and we sell it back. At the time when we're selling it, we sell it for what we purchased it for. We don't make any profit off the fuel sales. Unfortunately, there is a lag where, if we had bought the fuel and shipped it up the previous year, it's still being sold at that same price. We did have some conversation about whether or not we could equalize and look at reducing the prices now. There needs to be a more fulsome conversation, but the gist of that is: can we burden the future consumer with that extra price? So it's a bit more complicated than that. The short and basic of it is, we bought it at that price last year, and that's what we're selling it for now. Thank you, Madam Chair.
