Mr. Chairman, this was approved, I think, or looked at, on July 8th. It was authorized, $32,000, dollars to the Metis Heritage Association with respect to the Metis Elders Advisory Council. We ratified that on November

27, 1991, Mr. Chairman. The Metis Heritage Association is part of the Metis Nation, which is not affiliated with the Dene Cultural Institute in any way. As a separate organization their funding requests are handled on a basis equivalent to other organizations requesting funding. So we believe that they have been treated fairly along with everybody else. Thank you.
