Mr. Chairman, our role as a government is hopefully not to go into communities and create initiatives for people. We work with the communities. If they create economic development corporations or community corporations or individual companies, then we work with them to try to get the necessary funding in place to pursue the different economic development initiatives that are there. We work with the bands and we work with different community councils. We try to see how we can help them develop economically in their communities. So our task is mainly to have the programs and services that are there available, and in communities that are in the position to utilize those programs and services we work with them to see how we can have these programs available and how we can utilize these programs. Thank you.
