Mr. Chairman, we are very aware of the concern the Member has expressed. I am looking at the feasibility of having a more co-ordinated effort, or possibly just one window for some of the major pieces within the department's responsibility that loan money or give grants and so on. These include the Business Credit Corporation, the community economic development services, as well as some of our own business development funds that we manage through the department.

This exercise is in its preliminary stages, I have met with the board of the Northwest Territories Development Corporation. I still have to meet with the board of the Business Credit Corporation and certainly want to do this in collaboration with the various boards that are established to support these services.

Mr. Chairman, again, it is one of these exercises that, while it is a priority, there just simply has not been time in the last five months to be able to report substantial progress in putting these various initiatives together. It is going to be a process that is going to be undertaken over the next few months and probably over the next year.
