Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand the flexibility we are trying to give the communities. I, myself, being a representative of a fairly large community agree with that process, but also one of the things, for example, if I use Inuvik. Although the utilidor high temp system was pulled out and that agreement has been agreed to by FMBS for go-ahead work, the amount initially negotiated was worked on a deal the community would have to get the government's agreement that these projects were significant and the dollar figures attached were accurate figures to begin our negotiations. We know there is some flexibility allowed to communities, we know that some requirements are there, but initially this amount that set, is it a three year or a four year contract? Those were initially worked out so that would have set the stage for how much the amounts were negotiated for. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
