Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The boards in the western Arctic have been working together to look at options for managing the medical travel including how they could look at ways to reduce costs. They contracted a consultant earlier this calendar year to help them with that review and they just recently received the report and one of our recommendations is in fact to look at negotiating preferred rates or tendering for preferred rates with the commercial carriers. At this time they have not acted on this recommendation.
