Mr. Chairman, the figure I gave to the honourable Member didn't take into account the treatment centres. I was just suggesting that the expenditure on the drug and alcohol programs like the Aklavik Alcohol Action Committee, Arviat drug and alcohol program, Coral Harbour council, Dene Cultural Institute program, Fort Good Hope Dene community, Fort Norman, and then we have the Rae-Edzo Friendship Centre, Tree of Peace, Peel River, Tsiigehtchic, Wrigley Dene Band are the ones that add up to $4,502,651, Mr. Chairman, and I didn't take into account drug and alcohol treatment.

I mentioned earlier that we spent a lot more on drug and alcohol treatment, which may be $8 or $9 million. Then, we take into account the drug and alcohol treatment centres and Mr. Zoe is quite right, approximately $3.4 million that was negotiated was not to go to those treatment centres. It goes to a long list of programs, I think there are 44, right across the Northwest Territories.

See context to find out what was said next.
