Madam Chair, I believe that most of the prospectors who have previously prospected are known to people in government. Other individuals would show that they've taken some courses in prospecting, for instance. So these are the type of people that we would finance in much the same way as we would help trappers. People know that for certain individuals, their only occupations are hunting and trapping. There are other individuals who primarily prospect for a living. So we will very soon be advertising to let people know that courses are available for people who are interested in prospecting and that we will be taking applications from people who are interested in prospecting and may require a grubstake in order to get out to do the prospecting. Thank you.
