If you'd allow me to answer the food mail question, I'm not exactly sure what may have been meant by improvements to the food mail program. It could mean a number of things. But to the extent that it would mean further reducing the rate that is charged for shipping food into these communities, I can say without hesitation that the lower the rate that is charged for shipping the food, the lower priced those foods will be. We saw a lot of evidence of that when the rates were drastically reduced in the Baffin region of Nunavut in the early 1990s. In fact, food costs less in those communities now than it did in 1990.
More importantly, in three pilot communities where we have been conducting pilot projects over the last three or four years, we have further reduced the rate again for the most critical perishable foods--meaning, for the most part, fresh dairy products, fruit and vegetables, and frozen juice.
We have again seen the price of those foods come down. We have seen what I believe would be considered nutritionally significant increases in the volume of shipments of those foods. We've also seen improvements in the quality and variety of food.
We have not, however, assessed the actual impact of all of that on nutrient intake. But the intention was to provide evidence that ministers will need to make well-informed, long-term decisions about the future of this program.
