Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Genevieve mentioned earlier in her remarks a number of different areas where we're moving in that regard.

But in terms of percentage increases, we have seen increases in propane prices in comparable levels in previous years. In 2000-01 there was a significant increase.

Natural Resources committee  I have the statistics in front of me, but maybe.... Darren, do you have this?

Natural Resources committee  I have a brief comment on that. As I mentioned earlier, the management of resources is a shared responsibility. The Government of Canada has taken a number of steps over the last number of years to support new investment in Canada's resource sector. We've taken steps through Natu

Natural Resources committee  Natural Resources Canada regularly monitors energy markets: oil, gas, and other commodities.
