We provide upwards of about $260 million to health authorities to provide health and social services to communities. For the Beaufort-Delta we provide about $42 million-plus a year; Yellowknife authorities get $43 million; and Stanton is obviously the largest body and it receives $97 million now. We know that the financial and operating relationships we have with the authorities are that they’re given block funding and they do move around positions depending on where the vacancies are or some of their operational priorities are. Because we do have, not detached from the government in any way, but semi-independent operations in these authorities with their governing board and they make priority decisions as to how they will spend those funds.
