Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. This is not to suggest what your decision might be, because you make the decisions and we appreciate and respect that, but energy is the underpinning of our economy. Everything we do depends upon the price of energy. Right now the price of gasoline is about 10% higher than it was when the price of oil was 25% higher.
