I indicated that the rates went up in 2007, and following up on a recommendation from committee, we're doing another review of those rates. As I indicated, we're working very closely with the Foster Family Coalition for the Northwest Territories on that review. As of today the rate of Yellowknife is still $24 an hour, but as I indicated, there's also the age of child bonus that can be added on to that based on the age of the child. They will get a bonus of $4 a day for children between the ages of zero to five, $3 a day for six to 12, and $5 a day for 13 to 18. That's on top of the $24.
