Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, just so that it's clear to the Member -- and I apologize if I am not being precise enough -- out of our $260 million budget, about $190 million of that goes to the different authorities right off the top for all the program areas. They have latitude with that money with the board which is made up of community representatives, both in the Sahtu and every other authority, to make some program decisions on those areas that are not mandated or there is not a legal requirement to deliver things a certain way to work with communities to try to structure their arrangements. For example, some communities have chosen to have the regional centre provide service on a rotational basis from the regional centre to the communities. Some authorities or communities have chosen to try to do it where they have the staff in their communities, so there is some latitude there. When it comes to the type of structure and program services at the community level, the resources are already there. So if there is a desire to look at how those resources can be reprofiled; there is capacity to do that. Thank you.
