Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Certainly the federal government does contribute to the aboriginal organizations as well. Again, for example, on the intergovernmental initiatives fund we provide $830,000, the federal government provides roughly $1.6 million, or about $2 for every one we provide. The extent to which the aboriginal governments themselves will use their own beneficiary money is something that probably varies depending on their own cash situation and whether it's a project that deals specifically with beneficiaries and so on, but that would vary a lot. But my expectation is that they do spend some of their own money as well on the intergovernmental initiatives or in the area covered by grants.
