Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would be interested in participating in that because it is an issue and it can become a problem. I would like to suggest that where there is a desire for new companies to start, that the government seriously consider how they might make a transition in terms of ownership rather than just straight out market disruption and killing off some of these long-established companies by a slow death through negotiated contracts or by other means. Would the Minister consider it worthwhile to look at how aboriginal companies could become involved in some of these companies, perhaps in a way that could allow them to take them over, as opposed to just seeing them go out of business? Thank you.
