Madam Chair, the direct cost of administering the grants themselves is very minimal. It is a matter of a few weeks' work by a few individuals; more the

actual work that is involved is in terms of the time spent by our community minerals advisor and other people on staff in providing some assistance on an as-needed basis to prospectors. For example, if they wish to stake a claim and sometimes there are some technicalities that aren't properly followed through with, so staff are available to try to provide some assistance in conducting that. I would certainly emphasize that the administrative cost of this program is quite minimal.
