Mr. Chairman, I do know that in the past, we have had some concerns expressed by different communities, depending on whether they were receiving more funding or whether they were receiving less. There were some questions as to how we arrived at the formula. The information I have is that the consultants that put together this formula used certain factors that are applicable to each community. Every community was explained to them what the formula breakdown is and how it affects them. This is the first year where we actually put the formula funding program in place, so we are now hoping to get feedback from the communities, in particular through the NWTAM meeting that is coming up, as to how we can make changes, whether or not communities see it as a fair system or not. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
