Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs, it is a small department compared to other departments in this government. However, we are involved in quite a few different issues. We are dealing with land claims and with self-government issues and we are attempting to look at the different ways on how to be more effective and efficient in this department. If the question is that we are looking at ways of how to pool this money, I guess I could answer that we have not really looked at where the possibilities are. I think the money that is there to work in this area is quite limited, and perhaps we could say that we are attempting to try to look at it. They are different initiatives that are out there which are very similar, and I am not quite certain what the honourable Member is trying to get at, but the request was to try to pull some money together. I think we have done that. I think we have cut back in this department so much that it is very difficult to cut any more. Thank you.
