Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask a question regarding oil and gas initiatives and if we can count on seeing some dollars spent in the area. As the Minister is aware, many of the communities in my riding, the Hay River Reserve, Kakisa, Fort Providence, are spending a great deal of time on educating themselves as to the process as indicated. We have a lot to learn on the diamond industry, the same case for oil and gas. There are other communities out there throughout the Deh Cho, Nahanni Butte, Trout Lake, that are all also trying to bring themselves up to speed on gas initiatives. Many of them are working on planning and setting up management plans and impact agreements and drafting different documents. I would like to ask the Minister if there was any money earmarked this coming year as part of this interim appropriation for oil and gas, as I believe last year there was very little, if any. Thank you.
