Madam Chair, the prospector grubstake grants will be available and will be advertised across the Territories to all regions. There may be some notification about that in newspapers this week and the applications are approved on the basis of the applications themselves and the content of the application. There isn't a regional allocation as such. The level of prospector interest varies a great deal form region to region. Right now, there is a tremendous interest from communities in the Keewatin in accessing prospectors' grubstake assistance, as an example. The primary areas of interest are in the Baffin, the Keewatin and the North Slave. There is no predetermined regional allocation. It is based on the applications that come forward across the Territories.
