Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One of the things noted by the committees on the $1,362,000 which is identified as mineral, oil, and gas consultant funds, out of that, almost 80 percent of that fund is being spent at headquarters level. One of the questions raised is in regards to distribution of those funds on a more equitable matter to other areas and all communities and regions, especially in regards to the large mineral exploration activity that is happening from the Yellowknife area all the way up to the High Arctic, oil and gas activity in the Cameron Hills area, Fort Liard, Mackenzie Delta, and the Sahtu. What has the Minister done to ensure there is a more equitable way of distributing funds to the other regions so they can be involved in the consultation with industry, oil and gas, and mineral companies? Thank you.
