Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me be clear; the budget has been reduced by $1.5 million. The budget that's before the House has declared $1.5 million that was originally budgeted for Dene K'onia taken out of it. So that entire amount is shown as a savings right now. So that's what we are talking about. It's not in the budget. So it's not as if we are asking for any extra money to run a facility in Yellowknife. That money has been in the budget, it stays in the budget. The savings are the elimination of that facility in Hay River when it's operated. So the savings really are $1.5 million. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
