The Member is right. This $200,000 does not include the repatriation fund, and this $200,000 fund does apply only to communities outside of Yellowknife, Fort Smith, Inuvik and Hay River. Sorry, I didn’t get that right the last time. We don’t have specific funding for larger communities, because larger communities like, mostly, Yellowknife have NGOs that are established and they get their funding per bed. The Centre for Northern Families, YWCA and Sally Ann get different funding per bed, depending on how those beds are used, either from ECE or Health and Social Services or the homelessness file or Housing too. They get money from the Housing Corporation.
