Thank you, Madam Chair. Under the facilities and properties, there was a decrease of just over $1 million, which meant that there was a transfer of some of the property management budget to the regions where some of the functions were carried out. We also have to consider some amortization costs to some of the buildings, as well. The variance there that we're looking at is for vacant positions for 2019-2020 for facilities and properties of about $400,000. There is also a surplus in the GNWT building assets being delayed and not really pushed into service until this fiscal year, about $200,000. Also, the operation and maintenance expenditures for facility risk management, so again, some of the deferred maintenance as well as property management. In terms of the contract services, yes, I see there is a decrease in the budget. Sorry, Madam Chair, that was his second question. There is a decrease in the budget, and part of that is the internal transfer to the budget regional operations activity. That's where the work was performed. There is a decrease, and there is transfer. There is also a sunset of the Northern Transportation Adaptation Initiative. Those were some of the reductions in the costs. Thank you, Madam Chair.
