That is not answering my question. I don't have the list, so I don't know how much of the $6 million was provided to that company. I want to know, on top of that, was any other monies given to that company from the department?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Obviously, the Development Corporation will have prior commitments for projects which were approved in previous years. I was wondering if we could find out how much of the $6 million is already committed and how much will go to new applications this year or in the budget year.

Mr. Chairman, I made a commitment to Mr. Koe, and I will make the same to Mr. Dent, to provide both of these Members with full documentation of the independent board of directors' decisions that they have made with respect to investment. Let me clarify this. This is an independent board of directors set up by this House a number of years ago, which has the jurisdiction as to where it invests this money. There is no ministerial input except to defend the bulk $6 million budget. That is why it was set up by this House.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am only interested in finding out if the $6 million is going to further increase the amount of business development in the Territories. That was the only purpose for the question. Is the $6 million enough? Should we be putting $10 million in? I guess, obviously we are putting in too much or the Minister would have been much more happy to answer this sort of question. Perhaps, now that he understands the question, he would like to take a little more time with the answer.

I thought this was another letter from the ongoing saga from Mr. Dent on Polar Parkas, so I apologize to him. In these days of fiscal restraint, while I am not necessarily pleased that we have had to reduce the budget from $10 million to $6 million, I have acknowledged that there is a requirement for cuts and we have to accept that. However, to add to that, I would say that the board of directors of the Development Corporation do have a significant number of proposals on the table that far exceed the fiscal budgetary approvals that we are seeking here.
