Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We will continue to press the issue with the federal government in terms of who the program should apply to. I guess I need to make it clear that we don't put any money into that program. It's not a Government of the Northwest Territories program. We make it available through our offices in order just to ease access to it for northern residents. We have considered perhaps giving the program back and making the federal government deliver the program, but we decided if we did that we'd be back in the situation where all of the money wasn't being spent. So there would be people in the North who wouldn't access it because it was more difficult. So we have decided to continue offering the program, but I think it's got to be clear that this isn't our program and we only provide it to make it more easily accessible in the North.
