Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm just going to make a few comments and a few questions on the Minister's opening remarks. I'll have more questions when we go through page by page. I wanted to start on page 2 with Arctic Energy Alliance. I bring up this Arctic Energy Alliance quite often, and I must be missing something or nobody has ever been able to explain to me or show me the concrete evidence of the value that we're getting for this outfit. I just see an enormous amount of duplication of what this Arctic Energy Alliance does with anything from hardware stores to Wal-Mart to the Power Corporation, you name it. I just have yet to see something concrete come from there, and maybe I'm missing something. Maybe just somebody hasn't explained it to me right. Now I'm even a little more concerned, because now we're talking about $560,000 and to leverage another $1.5 million in federal dollars, I'm not sure how this is worded in here. I would like to get clarification. The $1.5 million from the federal government over the coming years, is that $1.5 million per year over the next coming years, and is this money all administered by the Arctic Energy Alliance, Mr. Chairman?
