Thank you,
Mr.
Chairman. My understanding is that ARDA
predated what we now have, which is called the Western Harvester Assistance Program. It has been there, I think, for a number of years and been drawn down by many eligible aboriginal governments. As well, maybe Minister McLeod would like to speak to the discussions that have been ongoing with the federal government about
other support the federal government may be able to provide us in this particular area. But at this point it’s the western harvesters fund that is the mainstay.
