Thank you Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, regarding program delivery in Iqaluit, there are $3 million which may in fact only be program dollars. It may not include the administration, contrary to what I said earlier. One of the issues which is under discussion is the cost of administration that Mr. Picco referred to and I have talked to the mayor of Iqaluit about this. It is somewhat difficult for me to answer right now. When the income support program was handed over to Education, Culture and Employment from Health and Social Services, nine PYs were transferred at the same time. Obviously, nine PYs were not enough to do program delivery across the Northwest Territories but that is what we received. Some of those PYs will still be shown under culture and careers ongoing positions rather than here in contributions. I would have to do some research to find out exactly where the administration costs to Iqaluit shows up. We are proposing Iqaluit use the same formula that is being used in other areas and that is one of the things we are discussing with the mayor and town council at this point in time. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
