Madam Chairperson, there is certainly an opportunity. We look at areas of programming that fall into this area. They occur at a community level. We have seen tremendous success in terms of the response from community groups, whether they are a few individuals, the band, Metis local or hamlet council for that matter, around the combined use of their funds that flow from the federal government and from our department. The report that we sponsored in terms of community wellness and action for 1996-97 details some of the tremendous success in that area. I think that the Member would find that many of these programs have, in fact, been sponsored by individual aboriginal groups. Thank you.
