Madam Chair, I understand that there are always people out there who need people who are prospectors by trade. They occasionally need a grubstake in order to do the job that they know how to do. There are many people in Yellowknife who do this type of work and sometimes need financial support to do it. That is what this program is for. We average somewhere between $3,000 and $8,000.
