Mr. Chairman, there has been a fair increase of $553,000 on capital. That counts for a big piece of it. Of course, the collective agreement adjustment of $42,000. We received a supp this year in 2000-2001 for $95,000 for park merchandise. That is just a situation where we put the money up front and the parks sell the merchandise and get their money back. We were anticipating $900,000 out of the tourism strategy, the tax that is included in there, and there are a number of just minor items from the transfer of a contract from environmental protection to tourism and so on. Those are the main ones that have accounted for the increase. It also reflects the attempt by the department to give this area some emphasis and some priority.
