I have just a quick follow-up question, Mr. Keenan, on the impact of energy pricing on rural and low-income Canadians.

I agree with you that if energy efficiency improves, then energy costs should go down; however, there are always policy proposals on the table, some of which would have the impact of increasing the cost of energy, the price of energy. Can we say unequivocally if energy prices go up that low-income Canadians and rural Canadians would be the hardest hit?
