Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Minister, we'd be willing, again, to share the entire distribution of resources, which we have with us, on a community-by-community basis, with the committee if they so wished. However, the formula was basically the number of unemployed in the community, divided by the number of unemployed in the NWT, times the number of dollars available. Then there were caps put on the largest allocation and floors put on the smallest allocation, in order that there be an allocation that the communities could work with. It was determined, I believe, that $25,000 was a reasonable amount for any project in the smallest community, and that the largest community would be capped at $500,000 federal, $500,000 territorial, where the tax-based municipalities would have to contribute a further $500,000, thereby getting a project worth $1.5 million. I hope that helps, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
