No, Mr. Chairman. It is important to point out the $150,000 is a direct, on-the-job training course for northern trainees that will be held at the Sirius Diamonds Sydney, B.C. facility from October 1998 to March 1999. Sirius Diamonds will guarantee jobs in Yellowknife to all trainees who successfully complete the course. The course will be delivered in partnership with the Vancouver Community College and the Aurora College. The $142,500 is money that has been allocated to the Aurora College for pre-employment training in the diamond industry. It is not directly related to the Sirius Diamond support that we are giving it. Thank you.
