Mr. Chairman, in doing our estimates, as I said earlier, we were very conservative in the numbers to make sure we are on the right side of the ledger sheet. In doing the estimates for those communities that are accessible only by ice road or by air, we estimated that 90 percent of their supplies, goods that come in by road will come in directly from the south with only 10 percent coming from Yellowknife. If it happens that they enjoy some of the benefit that would come from the communities on the road, then that could change a bit. Mr. Chairman, we have been very conservative in doing it and I would expect that the $10,000 figure we have in total is probably on the high side. Thank you.
