Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess the Minister's making it sound like all the communities are lucky to get what they get. Tax-based municipalities should feel grateful for whatever they get. But the fact of the matter is the City of Yellowknife has been negatively impacted. The Minister mentioned a 63 percent increase, but according to the numbers I've got it's close to a $600,000 loss because of the funding change, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask the Minister, in terms of consistency, is there going to be a consistent approach and is this the base-plus now that MACA has? Is that going to be consistently applied, or are there going to be further increases to that base? Thank you.
