Thank you, Mr. Chair. Last year we had to go for a supp with the increase in number of people that were accessing and the cost that it -- the increased cost to travel, like the air costs and stuff to send people out. This time we didn't put those costs -- we didn't bill that into the budget this year because we were able to get an agreement with NIHB that their NNADAP programs that they have in Canada, they will approve the funding if any Indigenous people that are status or Inuit that fall under their program can access those programs, that through NIHB, the travel will be also included. So that might take some of the costs down. So it's more of the supplementary increase the last budget that we had to go for. This year, we're hoping that the other program will be able to offset some of those costs. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
