Yes, Mr. Speaker, in about '94 or '96, somewhere in that period, RWED -- or Renewable Resources at that time -- did start a tannery program here using very simple basic materials, but materials that would help make it easier than the traditional way of tanning in order to attract more people into it. We had trained a number of people and then the interest seemed to die away. There were not a lot of people who were willing and ready to take training or devote themselves to this very strenuous task of tanning hides. If there is a renewed interest in doing that, then we are very definitely interested in it. Thank you.
