Thank you. Under the contributions, I note that there's $40,000 for development impact zones. Can the Minister tell me where has this $40,000 been spent? I thought the DIZ groups were sort of gone with the dinosaurs. Obviously, there are one or two groups left. Can you tell me where they are?

Thank you. Under northern accord contributions, there's $100,000 for aboriginal organizations. Is this money that is being given to each organization, or just to specific organizations, or is it used for their travel to attend these northern accord meetings? Can you just give me some detail on this, please?

Yes. When I sat down individually with the different aboriginal groups in an effort to encourage them to come together under the canvas, as they say, there were some groups that indicated that would we be prepared to assist them in providing some financial assistance so they can prepare their case and evaluate where we were going with this accord, and that's what this money was partially for. Thank you.
