Thank you, Madam Chairperson. A large part of this increase is as a result of the increased usage of hospitals outside the Northwest Territories. Almost two-thirds or three-quarters of this, actually, is in the area of increased utilization. Approximately $2.8 million was just the increased use, add another $330,000 for the additional rate increase for the services that were charged by the Capital Health Authority, and then claims processed between 2003-04 and 2004-05 is about another $800,000 or $860,000. The biggest driver here is the actual increase in use of the hospital facilities outside the Territories. Thank you.
