Madam Chair, I am not aware that any great amounts of money have been spent just for this one society. As I said, it's sponsored by this government in partnership with the federal government and industry, and this is almost the total allocation that's given for the operation of that society. There may be, on occasion, one or two plane tickets.

People should know, as well, if communities request assistance to meet with oil companies, we would look at it. But there are aboriginal groups who are basically carrying on a private business. They don't want us involved in their business discussions with oil companies, and it's none of our business. They are also in the business of hiring their own staff and accessing their own information. Nobody begrudges them that. I simply make a point that, in the case of the Sahtu, I know that this is a very efficient and simple way of getting basic information to communities, and you don't have to pay a lawyer or a consultant their high hourly fees in order to get basic information; it's available through agencies like this. If we can make them available to more regions, I would be very willing to do it. We could do it for Beaufort/Delta, North Slave, Deh Cho.
