Thank you, Mr. Speaker. They did in fact. I think we initiated $380,000 worth of seed money which was repayable from the fund once it got up and running. I do not know the details on which we drew down, as they say in the business world, and I do not know the status of it being paid back, but I will get it for the Member.
But again, I say to you, remember, we were the catalysts to bring this fund forward. It runs independent, with independent southern investment committee people, specifically set up to avoid both the perception of influence and the reality of influence. It was set up in a safe way to bring forward another form of capital that could be accessed by northern businesses.
As I said earlier, it has its limitations because it was looking at the larger end loans out there, et cetera. In summary, the seed money was repayable. I will find out if it was repaid. Secondly, it is not a government fund, therefore it has no relevance to division and thirdly, it is going very well and we should all be appreciative of it. Thank you.
