Thank you, Madam Chair. Welcome again here to the witness table. As I indicated in my opening comments or general comments, and I know that has been discussed in committee format, the demographics and the population changes that we’re seeing in the territory are shifting. As resources or work occurs, people move to those areas. We know the Sahtu is going to be greatly influenced by many oil projects here in the coming year and we see that the funding formula for communities is not changing with what we think is population change. This has also been spoken to, I believe, as well, with the NWT Association of Communities, which also agrees that this possibly is something that we should be looking at. So, Madam Chair, I think my opening comment or question is: Has population changed? Has demographic shifted? Has this caused changes in the funding formula for this upcoming year? Thank you.
