Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, when the department was anticipating a historic number of inmates from Nunavut with the charge back arrangement, we were going to charge a few dollars for each inmate from Nunavut, and it would have made up for the amount that was put back into the adult facilities. There was an increase. Originally, when we were anticipating a lot more Inuit inmates, the department took out of the base of the Department of Justice the amount that we were anticipating to receive from Nunavut for providing the correctional services for the inmates. The numbers were not there, doing things for Nunavut. We overestimated the number of inmates we thought we would get from Nunavut and the amount of money we thought we would get from Nunavut. That was taken out of our base. So we have added into our estimates from last year to this year. Thank you.
