Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe some of the parks we have in existence were started many years ago. I do not know how the total prior years capital expenditures would show now, but I would say in areas like the Kitikmeot and Keewatin, it would show to be substantially less than other regions. This is because of the smaller population, the inaccessibility of many of these places, and that is the way it is. It is low and we have tried to use certain guidelines in deciding where the expenditures should be. With the reductions, we have prioritized those capital projects that were already in progress. This is the priority that we placed. We also then followed with capital expenditures we would think would benefit the greatest number of people and would enhance our tourism marketing strategies. That is what we have done. Hopefully that is useful for the Member. Thank you.
