Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I do believe one of the areas is the land claims, the payouts from the federal government. I need to double-check with my department before I commit in this House if it is. Certainly, that’s one of the factors that were discussed along with the IBA payments. But with the Inuvialuit the payout was from the business arm, the economic arm. We do provide, again, exemption on the $1,200 a year to those individuals who do receive benefits. Certainly, I can look into the current act that we have, the legislation, to see if it truly reflects what the Member has stated. It might have been a previous government commitment in the House. I need to double-check on that.
