Once again, the Member’s asking me questions that I know full well he has the answer in front of him. Mr. Speaker, it’s not something I have any information on at this point. I’m sure we have compiled that information. I did have staff talk to me about some of the costs, I just don’t have it at this point. I’d have to, if the Member wanted to, provide it to him again. Thank you.

Debates of , 16th Assembly, 5th Session (day 46)

Mr. Chairman, the revolving fund is something we can control as to what the inputs and outputs are for this program. We have purchased all of our fuel for the summer resupply. We have purchased the majority of our fuel for winter’s resupply. We look, as the Member raised, to the future. We expect we are going to see rising costs, but that should not affect our revolving fund. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We do have a document that lists all our employees. We could provide it verbally or we could provide it to the Member in written format.
