Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First, I’d just note that we’ve done the calculations as we’re sitting here. The 2014 budget that we’ve just approved is a 9 percent increase, roughly, over last year. It’s the largest growth department, as it is just about every government of the land.

There have been some efficiencies with the changes we’ve made to personnel, how it’s managed, the navigator we put in place, the back office work were with various regions, but there are some significant cost-drivers here, the scheduled air travel, the tickets, ticket prices that have increased, reduced flight schedules. The Minister of Health indicated in the House yesterday or this week, just by not having any more flights in the mornings means you have to tack on an extra day on medical travel.

The medevac personnel contract has gone up considerably, four-hundred-and-some thousand dollars. The Edmonton city centre closure had a cost to us, and boarding home contracts, as well, have gone up. There has been a reduction in NIHB, what they pay, so that cost has been downloaded to us, unrecoverable costs, over $400,000.

So we have those pressures that drive up the cost. The other big issue is it’s demand driven, once again, the amount of travel required to move people around either in the North or from the North to the South. Thank you.
