Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to refer back to the Minister's opening statement again. I think it speaks to this section. He says, on page 4 of his statement, that we are dealing with fewer offenders in our facilities than anticipated with our contracting back arrangement with Nunavut. The department has identified additional funding for corrections to make up for this decline and to further develop and expand programs for offenders. I am just wondering why, if there is less that he makes from Nunavut, I would think that there would be leftover money. I do not know if I am reading that wrong. At the same time we are seeing an increase in this section, so I wonder if the Minister can tell me if I am reading this totally wrong. I think I need clarification on what he said in the opening statement and how it relates to the increase in budget. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
