Thank you. What we're really looking at here is Finance Canada estimates our corporate taxes for a year, which they base on prior year's tax collections. The number is correct in that the payments go directly to the federal government who then remit the NWT share to the Government of the Northwest Territories. But they make installment payments over the course of the year, and those payments, as I mentioned, are estimates based on prior year collection. We don't have information about a given year's tax collections until the following year. So adjustments are made once we have actual data. In some cases if the actual collection data turns out to be correct, then no adjustment is required. If it turns out that the installment payments are too high, then the excess is recovered. If the installment payments are too low, then there is an adjustment paid to correct that.

We understand the adjustment process, so we take that into account in our budgeting. We knew that we were going to get an overpayment, and we also knew that that would have to be recovered in the following year. When I saw we knew we would get an overpayment and that based on our estimates of corporate taxes that would be paid in 2002-2003, we estimated that Finance Canada was overpaying us for the year then, accordingly, we budgeted for the adjustment in the following year.
