Thank you, Madam Speaker. My understanding is that this program is designed to service the remote communities, it's not designed to be a subsidy for mining companies or construction companies. I guess there has been some concern raised because there is a possibility that there might be a reduction in this program. So I have written a letter to the Minister of Indian Affairs on this issue, already, basically letting him know how valuable a program it is for Northwest Territories residents and encouraging him to keep it in his budget. Thank you.
