Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the department was lead in some work that was done in the Beaufort-Delta recently and as a result of that the government signed an MOU with the Gwich'in regarding 50 percent of the contracts in the Gwich'in settlement area. I'd like to get some more details on that and how that would impact on, for example, this budget we are dealing with now. There are a number of projects, large ones that are already occurring in the upcoming fiscal year. So, I would like to know how that would impact, and I guess the reason I ask it here is because RWED did do a fair bit of the work on that one. I've had the capital acquisition plan pulled together on projects for Inuvik specifically. I'd like to know how in fact some of this stuff would work out. Now there's a campus or college being built there this year, but that was approved in prior years, and there is some money in this fiscal year. The regional hospital is almost completed, but there is some money in it for this year. Then there are a number of other smaller projects. How would those numbers play? Would it be specific community projects? I know that the GNWT, when it does its capital acquisition plan and spreads it out by constituency, for example, it spreads it out on community-specific projects, then regional and then territorial. A couple of these are regional by nature, so how would they be involved in this process? Is it just a matter of any project in Inuvik, total that up and then try to come up with a figure, or are there other factors in this process? Thank you.
