Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My colleague from Inuvik raised an interesting point in regards to the grants and contributions especially in relation to the Minister's initial comment that the $8 million increase reflected the transfer of positions to the health boards from the department. When they are doing the reconciliation they indicated that they would do, I would ask that they also keep in mind that there was an accompanying $12 million increase to grants and contributions to community programs and services which is where I would assume the money for the transfer to health boards would have gone, not into support for the health administration. The funding for board and managements is under the next activity. It is a confusing issue, especially with the kind of information we have at our fingertips, to try and sort that out.
