I remember in the 16th Assembly there were a lot of questions around this, and at that time we didn’t have solid agreements with Nunavut on what the actual costs are being, but we do have solid reciprocal billing agreements with Nunavut which clearly articulate the cost of the services and which services there are costs associated with, and we do collect the money. There are some delays. For instance, Stanton is behind about five months at this time on billings, and this is often as a result of capacity within Stanton. Receivables at year end are for services in that year to Nunavut and some of which are not invoiced to the end of the year, so there are some times where it’s a little late because we bill right to the end of the year and then we have to send invoices which are usually after the end of the year. There are a few delays, but we do collect the dollars that are owed to us. Some of the situations where money was outstanding, that was a number of years ago before these reciprocal billing agreements were really hard and fast and we had worked out some of these issues with Nunavut, but we do get the money.
