Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason for the difference would need to be explained largely from the difference in the capital projects that would be involved in one community versus the other, over the period of the block funding agreement. When we come to an agreement for the amounts, the department does look back on what its expenditures have been in the previous five, six years and looks forward over the future period of three to five years. More specifically, in the three-year period of the agreement, and have considered what the department might be expecting in terms of capital allocations and have in consultation with the community come to some agreement on what that amount should be. The best explanation I could give you right now is, it is reflective of the projects that were planned for the community of Fort Simpson in that period versus the projects that were grantable by our programs that were planned for the town of Inuvik. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
