Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Looking at the list, I would say Pond Inlet is about the farthest away from Iqaluit and that is about 700 miles. I do not think it is 1,500 miles. It is much closer by phone and by fax and by e-mail. As I have indicated, there are limited funds and the chances for face to face visits are going to be restricted. There were no seminars or training sessions offered in Iqaluit in 1996 and that is going to be the way that we are, unfortunately, going. We do not have the money to spend on these services. As I said to the Member, if money were unlimited, this would not be the approach we would take. However, we have had to compromise between what might be an ideal approach and what is acceptable given the limits of funding. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
