Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think what the Member is referring to is the Moose Hide Program that was introduced in the previous government. We tracked that and I think there were only four moose hides that were turned in. So we’ve taken a different approach in this government. We’ve established the SEED program, which is Support for Entrepreneurs and Economic Development. In that we have put in programs so that very small businesses, micro businesses, can access funding so that they can purchase raw materials so that they can continue to make some of the best arts and crafts in the world. We’ve taken that approach and I’m very pleased to see that there’s a very good uptake in almost every region and a lot of the small communities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
