Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The $90,000 was money that we did receive from the federal government. Some of this I think we distributed to some communities to help with their emergency action plans. Joint Emergency Preparedness is the name of the program. This program was discontinued by the federal government and they’re looking at replacing it with a program called the Disaster Mitigation Program now. We’re not quite sure of the details. We have some discussions with my federal counterpart, Mr. Lebel, and we’re hoping to get some information soon as far as what this program consists of and what kind of money we can expect to get. I will note that in our discussions with Mr. Lebel, we have told him that base-plus is the only type of funding that works for the NWT.
