The statutory appropriations for Natural Resources Canada largely represent the in, in and out, and the out of the amount paid in respect of royalties for Atlantic Canada offshore oil and gas. The amounts are not paid directly to the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia; they are paid to the Government of Canada—to us. It is a straight pass-through over to the provinces. There are adjustments to those amounts in year, in order to reflect any particular insight we have into the amounts that are being transferred or will be transferred.
