Thank you, Mr. Chair. I really believe you are talking to the converted. We call it local food production. We’ve heard this from committee, standing committee, a number of times. We need to do more to develop and expand local food production, so I think you’d be pleased to know we are trying to do more in the area of agriculture. We are going to focus on design, development of small vegetable garden plots, working with community organizations, also fisheries. We want to promote northern fish here in the Northwest Territories. So we’ve identified $250,000 to promote the territorial farming industry. Also, $450,000 to promote and support commercial harvesting, processing and marketing of fish and meat in the Northwest Territories. So hopefully we will be able to capture the kinds of small, local production that you mentioned.
On top of that, our SEED program has been designed to focus on the smaller communities. We have micro loans and micro credit so that small entrepreneurs can access funding to develop these products. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
