Unlike the other funds, Mr. Chairman, this one is focused on employment-related activities. It is focused on training and creating employment for people. The programs through the Northwest Territories Development Corporation are more towards the operation of a business, where they will buy preferred shares or will subsidize a number of subsidiaries.

This is different. This is focused on getting Northerners jobs.

Mr. Chairman, then accessing this would essentially amount to a contribution that this government would make to any given initiative? It is not a repayable loan or something of that nature. It is a contribution to a good business idea. Is that basically what we are looking at? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, yes, that is essentially what it is. We hope that by working jointly with aboriginal governments and the private sector, we can make our $1 million contribution towards training and employment that would be worth $3 million, for example. This is meant to encourage others to ante up in terms of their contribution. If we do not contribute, then there is a very limited amount that the private sector will do, nor will the aboriginal governments.
