Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This work has been underway for some time now and the Member is correct; this is one of the first tasks of the new BDIC. One of the first objectives was around governance. We dealt with that with the new board. We had some efficiency issues and now we are up to this program and service review as next steps. The work underway in three areas is we are reviewing our subsidiaries and these are formally Dev Corp; we are reviewing Community Futures, development corporations and also aboriginal capital corporation review; the third area is business program review around loans, venture investments, grants and contributions. We've had several consultants help the BDIC conduct that work. In terms of next steps, I think the specific piece the Member was asking about on business program review was started on November 28th. The work is being done by Dargo and Associates and also MJ Longlade and Associates. Data collection at community regional headquarters levels is underway. That's going to be followed up in analysis in drafting the project report and we think we can have that completed in early March. Thank you, Madam Chair.
