Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is no dispute on this particular aspect of funding from Ottawa. The dispute arises from hospital services as it relates to the health transfer in 1988. The dispute is with the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, and this billing for the $2,869,000 is to the Department of Health and Welfare Canada. If we do not get the disputed amount with Canada, it will probably increase our deficit by some $41 million. That is a rough number, but it will be in excess of $40 million. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
