Mr. Chairman, I share the same concern as my colleague, Mr. Dent, and I echo all the comments that he has made. I know that an application from my area went directly to the Minister, and we were hoping that, through the youth initiative program, that these kids would get funded. Unfortunately, they were advised by departmental staff that there was no money left because it has all been committed. But, now we see they are transferring $500,000 to a specific projects for the Gwich'in and Arctic College.
Now, Mr. Chairman, I know of another group that has approached me already. They are youth and they are seeking funding. I received a letter and I was going to approach the department, but I was already told once that there was no funding left. So, I would like to ask, how is the department going to deal with these applications that do come in, if there is nothing in the kitty already?
