Mr. Chairman, the Minister just indicated that he was going to review whether there was a review for a long-term program and whether or not this program would exist beyond next year. I am just wondering if there is another option to be considered, other than the NWT Development Corporation, to assist existing businesses or to deal with matters such as marketing studies, expansion or start-up costs for new businesses. I believe that is the intention of this particular fund, and he indicated that that may not continue beyond next year and that he does not, at least at this particular juncture, anticipate a continuation. So I am curious as to what considerations the department has given to other options, not the establishment of new ones but others to replace this particular one.
