Madam Chair, I had a question on page 9-13 and I was looking for $3.33 million, but I only heard $6.527 million so I didn't raise my hand there.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just have a short question on the other expenses under $3 million. I see that almost all items there is less than what was budgeted, or what were the actuals for 2004-05, except for the fees and payments that is going up for $500,000. I'm just looking for confirmation even as to whether this is an exercise in part of the 10 percent or one percent cut I think that all departments had to go through, because this is going to be a pretty conservative budget. Travel is going to be less than last year. Everything is going to go down except for the contract services. Yes, I mean it's comparable to last year, but I just want to know what explains the cuts there. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Well, compared to the 2005-06 revised estimates, we're looking at an increase, not a decrease, from the current year. So expenditures will be going up under fees and payments. All the others we're expecting to keep the same.

Thank you. I guess that raises the questions about how it would come the 2005-06 was less than 2004-05, but I'll just limit my question to what constitutes or what's included in the fees and payments and in particular the $500,000 increase from 2004-05? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Mr. Devitt advises me that the largest part of that would be the chargeback for central systems.
