Mr. Chairman, one of the directions I gave the department that they are presently checking into is, with all the money we have in this department, plus what is available through the NWT Development Corporation and the Business Credit Corporation, how many jobs do we create. How are the jobs created and sustained? It is something we are looking at, but we aren't sure how we can do it and how many qualifiers we are going to have to add when we throw a figure out. Thank you.

I have one final question. Under the economic development agreement, is the $600,000 carried over from previous years? How is that figure arrived at?

That is the residual budget for the industry Canada cooperative agreement with the GNWT. There were three cooperative agreements. The other two are concluded. This one has $600,000 left for delivery this year.
