Mr. Speaker, when we assess these kinds of inventory arrangements, I think that we are cognizant of the fact that all of the inventory cannot be high priced items. There must be a mix in there of items that can move. We are aware, and it is pointed out continually to me by the Arctic Cooperatives, that sitting with a large inventory is very costly.

Arctic Cooperatives has in excess of $1 million sitting in inventory. I am aware of the problem, and we do take those things into consideration when we sit down to discuss with people how we may assist them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
