Thank you, Mr. Chair. The majority of that increase is due to three specific areas, two of which relate to negotiated agreements for compensation and benefits so that collective bargaining with the UNW, that's a big factor in that, totalling $6.9 million. And then there's the ratification of the agreement with the physicians for a total of $3 million. And then there's about $14 million that got added to reflect funding to address physicians, supplies, relocation costs, things that the NTHSSA had been incurring that had been contributing to their deficit in recent years, and we've now allocated funding to those areas. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
