Mr. Speaker, I am not sure over the years how much money has been spent in total supporting these industries and trying to get them going, but I can tell you about the case of Dene Fur Clouds in Fort Providence, as one example. That is the one situation where one of the major supporters decided that she does not want to be part of it anymore so she is selling back her shares. At the same time, we have spent money having a business consultant work with the community to come up with a new plan. There is also a conversion from basically a lot of hand work to doing more machine manufacturing. That is being done jointly with the community. The Northwest Territories Development Corporation is very aware of this and are including this in their considerations as they put together their corporate plan for the upcoming year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
