Thank you for being here.
I've had a number of conversations with the Canadian Propane Association over this past year. I guess the gist of it is that there's plenty of propane, there was plenty to be transported, and it wasn't really an issue. I'll look at these things and I'll reference them again, as Ms. Block did. I've heard all of these in the past.
I just want to get your thoughts on this, and also the thoughts of the other group. We had an interesting situation in my part of northwestern Ontario. Propane, as you might know, is a single supplier in many areas—one company supplying in many areas. I happen to live in a part of northwestern Ontario where we have two suppliers, and I'll just briefly tell you what happened this past winter. I don't mind naming them; they're Cal-Gas and Superior Propane.
I happen to be a Cal-Gas customer for heating my home. What was interesting was that they had lots of propane priced exactly the same all winter. The complaints that I heard as a representative were all from Superior Propane customers about a shortage, only being able to fill half the tank, going up 80% to 90% per litre in price, and so on. As I look at this explanation and remember last week what everybody had to say, the only thing that I can come up with—and I'd like your comments on this—is that it clearly wasn't anti-competitive but a retail miscalculation. One supplier miscalculated the amount that they would need in northwestern Ontario. Because there are two companies there, one clearly did not miscalculate and the other one did.
Can I get your comments on that?
