Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we've contributed just over $2.1 million towards that. I think it was a $38 million funding gap that was identified through the work of the Formula Funding Review, which actually was supposed to start at the beginning of the 18thAssembly, but it was decided in the 17thAssembly that we'd initiate that work, so it would help us to identify some of the shortfalls that we've been hearing about from the communities and find ways we can address it. So this year we've contributed $2.1 million towards that, and as our fiscal situation improves, we would be able to help the communities address more of the funding gap that's been identified. Communities are aware of that, and NWTAC is actually supportive of the work that we're trying to do, because they recognize that our goal at the end of the day is to help address the gap that's identified through the Formula Funding Review. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
