Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't have the benefit of the contract in front of me, as it seems Mr. Hawkins does. I appreciate that he will table it later today, so we have it and I can probably give him some more important answers at that point. Just a little background, Mr. Speaker, though, I believe we approached negotiations with the city this year and were looking to sign a contract, recognizing that costs had increased. It has always been on a cost-shared basis in the past. Past expenditures have been about $12,000 for our government. We went into these negotiations and offered $15,000 this year. It's my understanding that the City of Yellowknife had made a determination that they wanted full cost recovery and no longer wanted to share the cost of these services and indicated the full cost was $21,000. So we were unable to come to an agreement at that point. I don't believe -- and I will wait to see the contract -- that we had an obligation to inform the city by January 1st. I have to take the Member's word for it at this point, but I believe that contract has expired, but I will wait to see the contract. Thank you.
