Thank you, Madam Chair. In the 1996-97 revised forecast, the Members will notice that the $60,000 to the Metis Nation, a community resource director funding was provided to the Metis Nation for community resource director, and that was to honour an agreement that we made as a government with the Metis Nation, a one time funding agreement. This was not an ongoing fund, or anything, it was just a one time thing. We had made a commitment to them, so we honoured it and we helped them with that one time only. It was not an ongoing issue. Thank you, Madam Chair. Sorry. And I just give that to Members for background, that it was never intended for ongoing funding every year of $60,000. And that is why it does not show in the 1997/98 main estimates, or the 1995/96 main estimates. It was a one time grant. Thank you.
