We’re probably going to get a similar answer if I ask the question, but I have been asking it ever since I’ve been here. About the Metis core funding, I think it’s averaged out. I think it’s $13,000, if I can recall. Every year this funding has not increased. That’s one of the complaints I get from my region, is that the Metis get core funding. I know it’s a nice thing to do for this government here. There really is no funding for them except some Metis are under a land claim settlement and they have other kind of funding. This one for the GNWT, I guess it’s a nice gesture to recognize the Metis government and to support it through a core funding initiative. I think it’s about $14,000. I am not sure if this is ever going to increase or this is something that we maybe should discuss on another level. Regarding this funding, are the Metis going to get any more than what they received the last four or five years? I believe it’s about $13,000 per Metis local organization. Thank you.
