Mr. Chairman, I would just like to get some clarification in this area regarding the economizing plans here which were to reduce this section by $84,000. I would like to ask the Minister, I'm aware that many offices, many contracts have been terminated in the communities for agencies and groups and different people that had contracts to issue licences and registration and all these types of requirements. For example, in my riding of Deh Cho, we have nobody that issues licences and registration or renewals any more for us. For the four communities that I represent, we have to travel to Hay River now or Yellowknife to get a renewal. So I'm assuming that there must be some savings in this whole area already. So I'd like to know if the Minister could give us what kind of savings we had. We've closed up quite a few offices, we've terminated quite a few contracts. We must have a surplus in this area.
