Thank you, Mr. Chair. So these are contract-specific up to the Inuvik Regional Hospital and the Arctic Family Centre and the Inuvik Public Health Office, so all Beaufort Delta related. And there are two specific contracts at issue. In both cases, those contracts saw increases as a result of some inflationary pressures that were being experienced. So, you know, again, not perhaps dissimilar to some of the challenges being felt in other areas of both the government and the private sector that just with -- whether between labour market shortages, increased inflation, increased expenses for insurance, or increased, you know, fuel costs, so on and so forth, all of that came in significantly higher and that is what has led to this item. Thank you.
