Thank you, Madam Chair. The price of fuel in the communities that we serve, the Petroleum Products Program, under the fuel services division, services 16 communities in the Northwest Territories, and for each of those, as was pointed out, there is a different cost structure, different cost component. The components are the same, essentially, but the prices to do that are different. A smaller fraction of that total price is actually the wholesale price of the cost of fuel. When we see fuel fall in various parts of the country, what we have to understand is that the cost of our local contractors to distribute the fuel in the communities, the cost of transportation, the cost of our levy, our various overhead costs, they do not really change very much. Even though the price of fuel, the wholesale price, may change somewhat, the price change for the communities as in what they pay, what the citizens pay, does not change that much. I don't know if that answers the question.
