The last time I addressed the board of the BDIC I requested that they bring forward some recommendations as to how we as a government could assist the small northern businesses, and they’ve indicated that they would review this at their board meeting. They’ve also advised that the lending rates of the board, of the BDIC, have been reduced to coincide with the reductions of the Bank of Canada.
As well, we do have the Opportunities Fund that we have moved to make a passive fund more active and we will be working with the standing committee on that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
