Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Northern Strategy money that we're flowing out to communities for their use, we have set some guidelines as to impact on future expense by government. I gave them a fair bit of latitude as to what they have selected as being important to them and where they would identify this money for, what they would identify the money for. We've got a number of examples of projects that have rolled in. For example, on the Hay River Reserve, they are looking at an arbour, a cultural camp, recreation equipment, and an adult education centre. They are looking to expand their day care and come up with a community comprehensive community plan, work on their commercial cooking facilities and some training. Fort McPherson is looking at expansion of their community complex as well as government offices and youth elders' interpretive centre. In Whati, they are looking at things like community capacity building, hydro project work, youth centre, and boardroom equipment. In Gameti, they are looking at design and build of some traditional cabins, convert an old gym into a community workshop type of work. Wrigley is looking at equipment itself, repair equipment, fuel dispensers for jet B fuel, a possible sawmill and a community hall, some money towards that. So there is an idea of where communities are putting some money. As those plans roll in, they will provide us with those types of details. Thank you.
