Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, regarding grants and contributions, there is a section dealing with the diamond industry funding to provide assistance to entrepreneurs taking advantage of diamond exploration and development. I am wondering if the Minister or his department will consider implementing a similar arrangement for the oil and gas sector, where there are a lot of people within the business community who want to take advantage of the oil and gas development and proposals, but they may need seed money to get off the ground. I am just wondering if the Minister or his department would consider such an arrangement, so oil and gas funding will be made available to that business sector also. You have money there for commercial fishermen, the diamond industry, Community Futures...I am wondering if you will consider looking at developing such a fund for the oil and gas sector. Thank you.
