Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess the easy answer to why Behchoko is funded the way it is is because historically it was considered to be Rae-Edzo and was viewed as one community. The community had desired that it remain that way. It's not an issue that has been raised to us in terms of changing how the funding flowed, and it's possible we could have that discussion, if there's a desire. Whereas, Detah is a separate community from Yellowknife. Detah has funding that comes from two different sources. The federal government does provide money through the Yellowknife Dene there, and we also provide dollars for the community to deliver our services, as we do to the City of Yellowknife. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
