How flaps affect VMCA & VMCG

Top of the mornin' to you all.

I was recently asked this question on an interview and cannot find a proper answer (in the books I've been reading or with the search function of this forum). All that I could stammer out was " With increased T/O flap on my type (DHC8) VMCA will decrease, by about 5kts from flap 5 to flap 15." I cannot figure out an intelligent answer for this so I look to your wisdom oh all knowing ppruners

As for VMCG on my type it doesn't change with flaps. I would appreciate any help with this, even a nudge in the right direction, where I might find the answer for myself.

Cheers,
LT
