Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The decision was done in relationship to the regulations. Under the regulations it was classed as unearned income so we proceeded on that basis. As I stated though, we are looking at the moment at considering the extrinsic evidence that may be there and I want to check with Aboriginal Affairs to see if we can proceed with recognizing the IBAs as not having to deduct them from payments. Therefore, we are prepared to open the door and look at this. Thank you.
