Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman last year it was $78,000 that was approved in the main estimates. The Mackenzie River Basin Board had some money going to it and there was a Diavik monitoring agency. Together, that was $78,000. Over the year, we added dollars to it. We added approximately a million dollars to the Maximizing Northern Employment Strategy last year to bring the number up along with the Mackenzie Valley development contribution.
Together, the contribution there jumped up to an additional $1.3 million above the $78,000. This year, we are contributing additional dollars to the Diavik socio-economic agreement, along with Maximizing Northern Employment, as you can see in the information. The Mackenzie Valley development contribution as well jumped substantially this year.
So because of budget allocations, perhaps the Maximizing Northern Employment is cut by half. In the Maximizing Northern Employment, like I said, Mr. Chairman, if that figure looks low, we have talked about it. We think that we can manage with the budget allocations. Hopefully, that is substantial enough, but if not, then we are going to have to make some budget adjustments as we go along through the year.
