Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the privatization was effective April 1, 1997, and what happened was we no longer as a government were providing this service. We were using our staff before that. Now that we privatized it, we are no longer using our staff. We did not have any increase in the amount from the department. No new revenues from this privatization came to the GNWT. However, we gain by not using our staff. We had a reduction in that manner. However, the providers in the private sector had to get some fee for these services. This is where the new fee was introduced. Thank you.
