Thank you, Madam Chair. So the majority of the increase was us funding the historical shortfall in the ologies which is about $6.5 million. There was $1.6 million associated with the ratification of the new contract with the NWT Medical Association. And there was another 1.6, coincidentally, that was tied to the ratification of the collective agreement with the GNWT because in that line item, in addition to the physicians, there are also the supporting staff in the offices that are, you know, supporting the physicians in those offices. So that's the majority of the increase in that line item. Thank you, Madam Chair.
