Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister if he would consider expanding the amount of money that is presently under grants and contributions for communities who want to get into manufacturing of forest products, either through portable sawmills or what not, so it will generate employment in their small communities and they can offset the costs of having to import a lot of these goods and services. Is there a possibility of increasing the amounts in grants and contributions strictly earmarked for economic opportunities in small, isolated communities so they can develop a small, secondary industry around wood products?
