Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, one doesn't have to look very far through the Department of RWED when we are looking at dollars that have been expended to promote a certain industry, whether it's the diamond industry, the oil and gas industry, as I said before, any industry that the government takes an interesting promoting and building. We often see huge dollars expended, even in strategies that we want to put out. A good example of that, Mr. Chairman, is the amount of money that was allocated from this government towards an energy strategy. I don't know, I guess it's still up in the air to decide whether we are going to get a good bang for our dollars in looking at an energy strategy, but manufacturing is an area that has proven to be a viable industry, one that has potential for huge growth and one that could be alive and well and growing in the Territories. I would like to know how much money is this government putting towards trying to promote manufacturing in the NWT? How much money is there? I don't see any dollars attached to this.
