Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason I am raising that is there has been a lot of exposure lately on Nunavut's seal fur industry and they have been raising international perspective on the German boar industry. Are any of our furs targeted that the Minister is aware of? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, not that I am aware of. I think our brand is doing very well. It's very well thought of. Of course, we use humane trapping methods in the Northwest Territories and I would also add that none of this is farmed fur. I think there's been some consternation internationally but it's been mostly around farmed furs. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Sorry, another one, Mr. Chairman. Under Community Futures, we have roughly $1.1 million there. Is that money that can be spent in Yellowknife? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, some of it goes to the Akaitcho Business Development Corporation. I can get a breakdown of the contributions. It's about $105,000 to that organization. I will provide more of an accounting for that. Thank you.
