Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The NIHB Program has been modified by the federal government. Policies have changed from time to time over the 12 years that we have administered it.

We administer it so when someone receives the services, we then bill the federal government to recover our costs. So there have been disagreements over billings, whether they should be allowed or not allowed under current policy and, at this point in time, we do not have a plan to turn this contract back to the federal government. Our intention now is to stay with it.

Now if the $5.5 million expenditure goes back into the budget, so will the revenue which we receive from this program as well. So it offsets the expense of it.

If Members have concerns about the Government of the Northwest Territories' continued participation in delivering this program outside of the financial issues we talked about, that may be a different topic for us to consider and to discuss.

The concerns that we had around the program were associated with the approximately $1 million per year that we had to subsidize in order to be the administrators and deliverers of these programs on behalf of the federal government. If those concerns are addressed, then I believe that we can continue to deliver it and the Government of the Northwest Territories may be the most effective and appropriate party to deliver that on behalf of the federal government, because people are certainly accustomed to the way that it is done now.

So we needed to have that discussion with the federal government and it has recently been more productive. If there are other concerns about the Government of the Northwest Territories fulfilling that role, then that is something that we would like to hear about as well.

For now, I think we can fairly safely say that if we can address some of these outstanding issues, we will continue to do it. We will continue to perform that task. I do not know what else. Let me see, I will take some notes here.

As to how you mentioned whether or not there will be a supplementary appropriation for the $5.5 million, our ability to expend that money would come back into the budget. I am going to ask Mr. St. Germaine to respond to that and just explain a bit. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
