I don’t believe there is a particular or a specific increase to address that situation. It’s part of the operation. There is a scheduled renewal of cards next year, and implementation is going forward with that. Since questions about the number of cards versus the population have been raised, the health insurance administration office in Inuvik has been working with the Audit Bureau to go through all the records to see if there are any anomalies. We have been able to reconcile the numbers quite substantially. I don’t have that information with me, but I would be happy to provide that info. We don’t expect that there will be extra money needed to do that work.
