Thanks, Madam Chair. Just reminded me that there was one other factor that I think led to the 2018 policy change that's highlighted in this recommendation, and that's the fact that the Housing Corporation was paying corporate rates for electricity as opposed to residential rates and the corporate rates, I think, are, like, two -- I might not even get the right number, but it's two or three times higher than what residential rates were. So, again, this was about trying to cut the Housing Corporation costs in some measure. So that was the other thing that was driving this, was the different rates that have been set, which probably need another look. Thanks, Madam Chair.
