Thank you, Madam Chair. I think, as my colleague Mr. Ramsay mentioned a few minutes ago, we are looking more and more specifically at how we are assisting our partners, the non-government organizations, other agencies that we do business with, Madam Chair, through direct contracts, service contracts, and in a couple of rare cases, through long-term core funding. Now, the two organizations that are named specifically in these pages here are the Native Women's Association of the Northwest Territories and the Status of Women Council of the Northwest Territories. Both organizations do a terrific job in their constituencies, I believe, Madam Chair, and have long been associated with the GNWT. In relation to the grants and contributions made to these two organizations at least, has there been any increment applied for the coming fiscal year in relation to salaries and benefits? It has been demonstrated amply, Madam Chair, that those organizations that we have relied on to help us out, we are not providing them with, what I call, a sustaining increment to help them stay competitive and to attract more people. How are we doing with the Native Women's Association and the Status of Women Council, Madam Chair?
