In general terms, the Inuvik board has been one of the best performers in terms of both managing and reducing its medical travel expenditures, year by year. When the Delta House facility was closed, the department contributed to the board an incremental amount of medical travel money, because we anticipated that they would need to send people out of their region that they otherwise would have been able to support inside their region. We have been tracking the volume of travel outside of the region for addictions treatment. At last report, that volume was in the area of 60 clients that had left the region for treatment. Thank you.
