Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason I ask is because in the Mackenzie Delta, in the communities of Aklavik, Inuvik, Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic, they do have the portable mellows in the communities and I think there is the economic potential and also the offer of employment in those communities in the sector. I think that right now we do have manufacturers designing different things in most of the regional centres, but not in the smaller communities. I think in regard to those communities there is that potential and we should seriously take hold of it. I think for a lot of people who would like to be able to cut their own logs and provide the logs and the labour to build their own homes, that is still viable to them. A lot of people felt proud in the past. They have seen their parents or grandparents having their log homes in their communities. Today, very few people have log homes and I think for myself I would like to see that.

I would like to ask the Minister, are there resources that have been put aside for such initiatives so that we can look at developing this as a viable market in our small communities?
