Thank you, Madam Chair. I thank the assistant deputy minister for that answer because I think there's a real opportunity to try something and to maybe have some cost savings on diesel fuel. Also, you'd meet some of the energy initiatives that we're trying to achieve for replacement of diesel. That's more of a comment, and no further questions. Thank you, Madam Chair.
