Mr. Chairman, again, I may not be able to respond correctly as I don't have the information with me. I could go by memory and indicate that it is unfortunate that the community was put in this situation, but I believe the request to change the criteria under which the particular facilities fall was a request made by communities. Now, this was also before my time as a Minister. The request was made by the community to change the criteria of the particular facility that the Member is referring to from an additional facility for a community, which it was under, where the communities were not able to contribute the amounts that were required under that particular criteria. When it was changed at the request of the community to basic facilities, the position was made that the communities would be able to contribute the amounts that are required under that particular criteria. Again, I would have to say that it is unfortunate that the community of Fort Providence was put under that situation, but that is the way I understand the situation to have occurred. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
