Mr. Chairman, that is correct. All of the money that comes as loans is either through the BCC or Community Futures. It may be administered by the superintendent because of emergencies, or something has to be done quickly. Lending outside of that would be a personal loan. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister stated something about his staff giving personal loans. Can he further elaborate on that?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think I will pursue this one a little further. Would that not be a conflict of interest if you had staff doing personal loans to businesses, rather than the organizations you established? Or would you like to correct that statement? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, if the staff are doing that, I do not know about it. If someone wants to lend someone twenty dollars, that could happen. Would it be a conflict of interest if our staff started to run a lending program? Probably. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to thank the Minister for that comment. I will save further questions until we get to grants and contributions.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, my apologies. I was waiting to get to page 11-18. I would just like to ask the Minister for a breakdown under parks and tourism. It states the main estimate for this year is $4.5 million. I wonder if the Minister could break it down for us and state what portion of that goes to tourism.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it will just take a second here to get the right page. The breakdown is: parks and tourism, $1,109,000; the contribution and service contract and so on to the NWT Arctic Tourism Association, $921,000; then we have regional parks and tourism, which is $2,470,000. Generally speaking, Mr. Chairman, the department spends approximately $2.5 million on what you could call tourism, and about $2 million of that ends up on the parks side, if that is what the Member is getting at. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On that last figure the Minister provided, on the $2.5 million for tourism, is that where the grant for the Arctic Tourism comes out of?
