Thank you, Madam Chair. I think the Minister knows where I'm going with this. I have had a lot of the seniors comment that this change was detrimental to them. It's hard for them to budget. They don't know necessarily then how much fuel they are going to get each year; it's very dependent upon oil prices. This year was great. We did see a drop in prices, and some indicated that they actually did do an extra fill-up at some point to take advantage. However, it does lead to a lot of uncertainty and stress when they don't know and may have to purchase, in a particularly cold year, more fuel for themselves. My question is, for the department: will there be any move back towards making this a volume-based subsidy versus a monetary one? Thank you.
