Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, a lot would depend on what type of initiative or program they would be trying to get off the ground. If I can use an analogy, if there was something in the honourable Member's riding, and I know he refers a lot to the Tl'oondih program. If they had a program they wanted to get off the ground and there is a recognized and supported need in the community then they would work at the community level to develop a proposal that could be forwarded to the board. If I use, again, an example of some of the Strategic Initiative Funds that we have in Inuvik, a board will have an amount of money accessible to do mental health programs, for example. If it is chosen as to what they feel is a priority, then they can gear a program toward what could theoretically be run out of the Tl'oondih program or on that site, particularly, if it is supported at the community and regional level, Madam Chairperson. Thank you.
