Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to address some questions regarding the Aurora Funds, Mr. Chairman. Just to background it, to my understanding there were two Aurora Funds and each was identified as raising approximately $30 million to $35 million. I believe 75 or 80 percent of that would be invested into northern businesses. I have tried to get some questions answered on this previously but the committee itself had some questions. Related to job creation and so forth, how effective has the Aurora Fund really been? Perhaps I can start by asking the Minister several series of questions so that I get a picture of where we are at with the Aurora Fund. I guess my first question is, how much has each particular fund raised to date in total?
