Thank you, Mr. Chair. With respect to grants and contributions, there have been about six-ish million dollars in increases. I can just walk through some of those. We’ve had some Collective Agreement increases for both the authorities, including Hay River. That’s about $1.9-plus million. We’ve got some initiatives we are working on that are priorities of the Legislature, which is the Midwifery Program expansion, that’s $470,000. We have the Northern Alberta Renal Program, a much smaller amount, $1,000 it looks like in direct program delivery. This is the one-time funding that we’ve talked about to replace the THSSI funding. An allocation of $1.6 million for Healthy Pregnancies, $180,000 there. We’ve got some forced growth as well, contracts with the NWT Med Association for family practitioners. It’s about $789,000. Some additional forced growth around dietary, laundry, housekeeping contract with Stanton, $93,000. Some northern allowance increases, $112,000; Economic Evergreen Plan for program vehicles, $405,000; release of costs of essential services, $306,000; professional fees, $119,000; supplies, $104,000; chemotherapy drugs have gone up $132,000; and then callback and stand-by pay, $1 million.
