Mr. Chairman, the Metis locals funding issue is one that has been brought forward to the regional office for an increase or even to recognize the support. We haven’t had success from the federal government moving on that because it is an issue that, at least from their side, they say on the national front it grows too much. We continue to support that and support that there should be some recognition. As the Member is aware and Members of the Assembly are aware, as the GNWT, we recognize the Metis through a number of avenues, whether it is the health program or, in this case, the Metis local core funding. No, it is not a lot, but it helps to offset their annual costs. Thank you.
