Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the funding that will be provided will come from the aboriginal development fund that Minister Stewart has. We generally approach our programs on an inclusive basis, but I can reassure the Member that any funding that we have used so far, for example in the mine training area where we have contributed and the mine training committee has been very successful -- they have created 365 jobs over the past several years -- 90 percent of those have been aboriginal people that have found employment as a result. The Mine Training Committee reassures me that they are looking at the potential for 600 more Northerners to be employed through their particular programs of which the majority, and when I speak of majority the previous indication was 90 percent out of the 300, I expect that the majority again will be aboriginal Northerners. Thank you.
