Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With respect to the Arctic Health Research Network, it should be pointed out that this is not the extent, the $10,000 not being in next year or last year, from 2007-08, should not indicate that they are not getting funding from the government. They have a number of very significant multi-million projects they are working on. They get funded from a number of organizations, government and otherwise; International Polar Year and all kinds of Arctic research work. I could undertake to have them tell us some of the projects they are working on as well as some of the funding sources, if they are willing to share it with us. But it is a very vibrant, active research network and we work closely. In fact, I am meeting with them tomorrow because they want to talk about some other funding ideas. We support them, we partner and we write letters in support of them and they have some really interesting and exciting projects on the way. So this $10,000 is not part of what they need. Thank you.
