Thank you, Mr. Chair. These projects remain a priority for the Department of Health and Social Services and the Government of the Northwest Territories. As we got into it, there was definitely indication that there is a lot of interest in working together on this project with different stakeholders, but we had to do some initial work up front to determine costing. That work, the RFPs were released in May. It has taken a little longer than anticipated to get some of the up-front work done through these contractors, and we felt that it was not reasonable to expect that we would complete these projects or kick these projects off substantially in the 2019-2020 fiscal year, so we are moving those dollars to 2020-2021 and ongoing. These projects are staying on the books. They are just moving a year down the line. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
