Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to the monies that are being spent in relation to the commission itself, somewhere in the range of $2.77 million basically to run the commission, those costs are borne through the sale of the alcohol itself. Is there a possible way of allowing a small percentage of that to be given to a non-profit society or organization which works in the area of the alcohol and drug abuse field? There was a big debate in Inuvik because of the plans to expand the liquor store, but at the same time shutting down the alcohol treatment centre, Delta House because there was no money for that. I would like to know if there is a possibility of looking at that in regard to identifying the percentage of the overall profits which presently is being consumed by the Liquor Commission itself?
