Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The funding formula created by the department is to help communities in the basic administration of their particular community. I believe the funding formula used by the department is used to distribute the funds that are available on an equitable basis. Each community then receives funds they are able to use for their basic administrative and other basic needs. If there are specialized areas that the communities want to get involved in, such as Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, or the community transfer initiative where they may want to take on Economic Development and Tourism, Social Services or any other department, I think the agreement they work on would have to include the financial resources required to administer that particular segment, because the funding formula used by the department is used to distribute funds for basic administrative needs only. If additional funds are required, then when discussions are taking place with the organization, those resources would have to be negotiated with that particular group. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
