Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are currently 40 communities in the Northwest Territories where the alcohol and drug programs are. They are operated under the direction of local boards and agencies. The funding increase is based on the consumer price index of 17.01 per cent from April, 1988 to March, 1992. Those funds at that rate are being provided to those 40 organizations. They can do with that money as they see fit. We are suggesting to them that it is to assist them with their inflation rate salary increases since 1988. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
