Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as you know, the Strategic Investment Fund came about as a result of some of the deficiencies in health care funding throughout the Northwest Territories. I think it is fair to say that the department recognized that some boards were better off than others in respect to some of their core funding for programs through the department. So there is an intent to try to balance that off with this initiative. Some boards that have a bit more flexibility would be asked to put in more of their share of investment towards accessing funds in the strategic program dollars, and other boards that may have a more limited ability because of historic shortages in some of their funding would be asked to put in less to access some of these funds. Thank you.
