Thank you, Madam Chair. As I indicated in my comments to the departmental budget, we’re the banker and we basically flow the money through to the Housing Corporation to run their operations and do the work they do with housing.

Just on the contribution to the Inuvik gas situation, is that a one-time cost, do we know, or is that expected to be an annual cost?

At this juncture it’s over the next four years.

I’ll get Mr. Kalgutkar to speak to that, but the amount does drop from $5 million on down. I’ll ask Mr. Kalgutkar to provide the detail.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The total contribution that’s part of the GRA which includes the Inuvik gas issue is $15.6 million. As we phase the rate increases in over the next four years, our contribution does drop, and the full requirement at the end of the third year will be made up by the rate base.

I understand that now. It would seem to be reported as two different things here. These are both the general rate application and the Inuvik gas pertaining to the general rate application. Is that correct?
