Depending on whom you're asking, you'll get different perspectives on the success of the program, but the goal that we had set out was to reduce the cost of goods to what they would have been had the program not been put in place.
There was a previous program in place and that information is often not known, but for the food mail program, we were able to reduce the costs further with the new program by about 5% in the first six months of the program. Then over the course of the next year or so, it came down by about 3.5%, 2%.
Presently what we're finding is that the program is maintaining a lower cost overall. Now we're finding a trend that while costs for the same goods are rising at about 4% or so across Canada, we've been holding it to no more than 2% or so in the north for communities that are participating in the program.
