That is correct, but it is a community choice. If a community wishes to put forward a land development, they have to pay for it, that is what the legislation now says. So the community choice in the constituency of Rankin Inlet was that they do not have the capability, they tell me, for the $6.5 million but they are prepared to conclude one loop to the tune of $1.5 million. It is a repayable contribution, in keeping with the way in which we contributed to other municipalities including Yellowknife, Fort Smith, Hay River, Fort Simpson, et cetera, by increasing the costs of their leases and meeting the schedule of payments that is required under the policies that we have in place. Thank you.
