Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I should add a little more information to this. The amount of funding that was provided was to help partially offset some of the celebrations, but, as well, to initiate their first gathering as a self-government, and help them defray some of those costs of their initial meetings. As well, this is the first self-government agreement in the Northwest Territories that has been finalized, and it is in the process of being implemented now. That is some of the consideration when we talked about working with other groups in the Northwest Territories and governments, in this situation, and the relationship we have with them. So I think the comparison is somewhat different from the one of the Arts Council, which does its work and promotes arts and crafts across the Northwest Territories. This is a one-time event of supporting them in their initial kick-off of the self-government journey that they are undertaking now, and it was in that light that this amount was agreed to be put into this document. Thank you.
