Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on the territorial formula financing side, of the amount that was identified, the Northwest Territories over the five-year period would see approximately $74 million. That, Mr. Speaker, is already built into our budget estimates and forecasting, and we are still falling short. For example, the other one of $90 million over five years, split, if you use the existing formulas that have been in place, we might see $6 million a year coming North, not through the GNWT but through DIAND as we expect it will flow, and we are waiting to see the initiatives, the criteria that will be attached to that. The health funding that was identified as part of the formula, in fact as I stated, is part of the formula. The agreement that was agreed to with the Prime Minister and the three Premiers of the territories, on the $20 million split between the three territories, there is a commitment to extend that beyond 2006-07. So the $60 million is in there over three years, again split by each territory. So ongoing beyond 2006-07 we might be netting in the area of approximately $8 million. So the numbers do break down differently as we see it and we'd have to get more details to see the final numbers and how they fall out. Thank you.
