Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We did have the foresight to anticipate this broad cost, the global figure of almost $27 million. We’ve been on a one-of-a-kind process here that we’ve been negotiating with the federal government. There’s been an enormous amount of work done. Some things didn’t move as fast as we anticipated with the negotiations. We are now, as was indicated today in the House by the Premier when he indicated we’re giving notice of motion that we’re going to have the motion on devolution with the agreement before the House, so this is a one-time occurrence and it’s been moved as fast as we could move it. We’ve budgeted as well as we could. There were some things we didn’t control, and hence, we are back before the House with the funding request and the lapses that we want to put to good use.
