Speaking personally, as the Minister responsible, it is my belief that the NWT Development Corporation was originally set up with the principles of trying to create employment in the areas where there was high unemployment. It was recognized early on that one of the failures in a number of businesses in level II and III communities is the inability for them to access capital and to service the debt. The principles of the Development Corporation are to provide the capital infrastructure on the short-term to avoid that heavy administration expense of interest payments and debt, and once we get it viable, to transfer it over to an independent group. That is my understanding, in a nutshell.
Originally there was a need to create some economic activity that would create jobs. There was a recognition that these jobs would have to be subsidized, whether it was in front-end capital expenditure or in short-term job expenditure. In other words, "x" amount of dollars for "x" amount of jobs. The overall goal is if we are successful in making the operation viable, we would be able to transfer that back to a Development Corporation in a community or some individual entrepreneurs. Thank you.
