Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, Mr. Voytilla, in conversation with Mr. Todd, gave him the indication that there indeed was an amount that comes forward under the loan authorization. As we all know, in this House, over the past 15 months, those monies are targeted for different areas, not necessarily the land development money, as such. My supplementary question to Mr. Todd as the Finance Minister, under this area of community operations is, do they have a targeted amount set for land development? If not, are they going to be setting up one? As this new policy now has only taken place in the last month, we already have seen a request for $1.5 million from one community and it was only approved in the last session, in March. We have another twelve months to go. What type of budget have you got there and what happens to a community if all the money is gone, if the community of Tuktoyaktuk wants to develop land and there is no money left to be borrowed because we are already at our limit? How are we going to do this? I think there are some very good questions. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
