Thank you, Mr. Chair. Or perhaps I misheard. So the $350,000 reduction is associated with savings that we plan to find associated with pharmaceutical costs. We are going to negotiate a new agreement with the NWT Pharmacists Association and we are hoping to find some efficiencies through those negotiations. We know that we have the opportunity to save some costs by moving to 90-day dispensing, which will reduce some of the charges associated with dispensing drugs, and we are looking at changes to over-the-counter drugs in the NIHB formulary, and if we can't get those changes made through the formulary we are considering switching to the Alberta formulary so that we can reduce some of our drug costs through that means as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
