Thank you, Madam Chair. The Hay River Health and Social Services Authority is actually outside of the public service, so the employees and the management in that authority are not GNWT employees in any capacity. We do provide funding to them as we do with other authorities. I believe it was in 2005 I pushed to bring the Hay River Health and Social Services Authority into the public service and the price tag at that time was about $2 million to bring in the pensions and whatnot. We continue to have discussions with the authority. We continue to explore possibilities to bring them in. The price tag has increased we believe significantly and we are doing some analysis on that to figure out what the actual cost to bring them into the public service would be. We will continue to have those conversations, but there is no immediate plan to bring them into the public service. Thank you, Madam Chair.
