No, that is not what we mean. What we are trying to imply here is that in certain cases there is a requirement for government intervention and the NWT Development Corporation does exactly that. For example, the Fort McPherson canvas shop, it is my understanding it employs 12 to 14 people. What we are saying is, there is an eight million dollar budget for the NWT Development Corporation, and we want to be ensured that when they invest and the policy is in place, that they are going to ensure there is value for that. If we are going to invest in a mill, that there be jobs related to it. If we are going to invest in a fish plant, that there is going to be product related to it. There has to be clearer guidelines as to why we are investing in these kinds of funds. Are you with me? Thank you.
