I guess I am not supposed to say where I saw those numbers, but I saw them yesterday in a committee meeting. It was 27, I believe, in 2004-2005 and there was 56 this past year. That number of 56 has fallen somewhat; to, I believe, 49, as five or six of those individuals have been placed in the Hay River assisted living facility. So the numbers, I know the Minister says they are not going up, just the costs, but if we have gone from 27 to 49 in a span of five years, that is a pretty big increase and I think we need to realize that if there are any of these individuals that we can bring back to the Northwest Territories, we have to do that. Get them back here and keep the money in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
