Mr. Chairman, this is a three percent fee increase that was negotiated between the Department of Health and the physicians in the Northwest Territories. It is not a collective agreement situation, it is one where the department negotiates with the physicians. It covers both salaries, but also other expenses the physicians would incur. This one came in too late for the main estimates, but it is basically $212,000, which is a global three percent increase and another $50,000 that was agreed to for continuing medical education for the physicians.
