Thank you, Madam Chair. That is exactly my point. Because they've had a society in place for a number of years when other areas did not have that opportunity, they have lost out on the opportunity to meet with the oil companies, to be able to lobby companies. Without having a basic arm to link them into the Calgary office or the Yellowknife office, who are we talking to? I have made several attempts over the last year to try and get a study done on oil and gas potential in the Mackenzie Delta region, and on a project which was done in the Sahtu with regard to looking at the potential of a seismic application to the companies in which it was done, through this society, because that was basically what they were there for. But because we do not have a DIZ society in the Mackenzie Delta, as you stated, we are losing out on that potential. Yet someone else, because they have the advantage of another region, is getting something.
So that's where my question comes back to: fairness. My question was that you say that you may be able to look at getting resources for other regions, but all that's in the budget is $40,000 for the one particular society. So it's a question of having the resources and the infrastructure in place to assist you to deal with the lobbying of the oil industry in Calgary; or, having someone identify potential resources in economic development programs to assist them in hiring consultants and things like that, Other regions weren't able to do that because they did not have the infrastructure in place, such as this DIZ society which basically has one person on staff and all he does is lobby for himself, phone the oil companies and basically keep his job in place because he has connections to Calgary which we do not have in the Beaufort-Delta region. We used to; we used to basically be able to have a direct line right to Calgary, but now we don't because the oil and gas took it all. We eliminated the DIZ society because there was no need for it. What I am saying is, how do you see finding resources out of $40,000 to assist the other regions.
