Thank you, Mr. Chair. As the Minister stated, we have negotiated an A-base transfer of $65.3 million to undertake the responsibilities related to devolution that goes into our formula. Of that $65.3 million, if Members will recall when we put together the original budget, we left aside about $10 million of contingency to deal with any issues that came up. So we still have some of that contingency money available and subject to the Legislative Assembly’s approval of this request, there will still be about $4.31 million of surplus money available from devolution implementation money. While it will be an ongoing expense, we were provided funding to offset that expense. So, to restate what the Minister said, this is not coming out of existing programs and service expenditures, but it’s coming from that $65.3 million that we got an A-base transfer for, for funding those activities related to devolution. Thank you
