Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, we do not have that type of information. That information would be made available to us as the year goes on, as applications are received from the communities and are approved. What I can say is of the total $11.7 million for the Baffin region, the amount is broken down in general, as follows: $2.8 million in the senior citizens' home repair, emergency repair and independent housing programs, lumped together, it is $2.843 million, for the EDAP Corporation the contribution is $6.9 million. The various repairs and support programs, which includes mobile equipment and retrofits, is $2 million, for a total of $11.791 million. Thank you.
