Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think it's important to point out that we have no jurisdiction over this funding. This is a direct relationship between the federal government, DIAND, and the aboriginal groups. What we are saying is that discussions were under way with respect to trying to look at a new EDA program. Community futures was on the chopping block, and my understanding is that the CEDOs were being reviewed. So we have had some discussions in the broader context as it relates to federal funding with respect to economic development programs, but we have no direct jurisdiction at this time. That program is currently in the hands of DIAND. Thank you.
