Mr. Chairman, the $701,000 was meant to enrich an employee development program. So that entitles them to one professional development opportunity per year for up to five days. We get financial assistance at $2,000 for professionals in Yellowknife, Hay River, Fort Smith and $3,000 per employee for health professionals living in all the other communities. So that money has been committed to the health professionals who are presently in the system.
