Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I can't, for the Member, indicate what the exact arrangements are in Wrigley and Jean Marie River in terms of EDO support. I can get that information for the Member, but we do have a couple of different arrangements that vary by community and vary depending on what the community's interests are. In some communities, in some regions, we have RWED staff that fill that role and through the community transfer initiative some time back, RWED was able to transfer funding to communities to have them provide the service for the community and on that community's behalf. So it depends on the community as to the option they've chosen. We have found that some communities that initially took on that role have given it back to RWED for a number of reasons. We did have some discussion, as well, Mr. Speaker, with committee about the adequacy of EDO funding by community and by region. A number of other Members have raised that in the House and that is something I intend to investigate and pursue. Thank you.
