Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as a result of yesterday's discussions, and the department coming forward that they were intending to bring forward reductions to the block funding agreements between five and seven percent, I myself spoke to the mayor of Inuvik, who is the president of the Northwest Territories Association of Municipalities. He informed me that at a board meeting held by the NWTAM in late February, the communities were told that during this interim appropriation, there would be no reductions. But they had to have their heads up that during the main business planning process, possible reductions would be reviewed at that time. They were informed that during the interim appropriation, it was a status quo. Can the Minister inform us as to the change in this plan?
