Mr. Chairman, we have heard a lot lately with regard to the $240 million for the Aboriginal Economic Development Program that is administered out of DIAND. In there, there are a lot of dollars for development services and First Nations training and looking at the different type of career initiatives that could be funded through this program, like the Department of Transportation where we have accessed federal dollars by trying to fit ourselves into certain categories, such as the bridge project. Has the department met with Indian Affairs to see what the possibility is of accessing some of these dollars, perhaps working in conjunction with the Inuvialuit, the Gwich'in, any other aboriginal organization that may be requesting training and career development that this project offers?

There is a lot of money we could try to access knowing we do not have all the money we need right now just to run the programs we have. Have you looked at the possibility of how we can work in partnership with the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs to see how we can access some of these dollars through partnerships with different aboriginal organizations, the Inuvialuit, Gwich'in, Sahtu?
