Thank you, Mr. Chair. So this one is a little bit of a varied answer. So in 2023-2024, we had an almost $30 million expense, and part of that was related to getting supplementary funding because our costs were higher. In 2024-2025 Main Estimates, the budget we have is $19 million. The revised main estimates show $24 million because it reflects $5 million that was added to the budget for federal funding. The territorial health investment fund allocates $5 million for medical travel. The change to 2025-2026 is because of the negotiations that the Minister spoke about with Indigenous Services Canada related to the non-insured health benefit and where we were able to negotiate additional funding into that agreement which allowed us the opportunity to move $15 million to address other pressures within the health care system. So that $15 million is now funded by third party, and the money is moved elsewhere in the budget for authority pressures that had been historically impacting their deficit. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
