Mr. Chairman, I wasn’t talking about financial resources; I was referring to human resources. When this department administers these programs under work performed on behalf of others with transitional health funding contribution agreements or Nats’ejee K’eh pan-territorial social marketing project, I am asking if there is actually human resources there to support individuals to apply. Because I think that it would be good if everybody maybe had a computer or was able to go to the website, pull it up, fill out the information on their own, sign it and send it off and so on. That is not exactly the way things work in small communities. I kind of wondered about that because a lot of my questions have been simply referring me to a website. Again, aside from the four people in Inuvik, which I am fine with if their work extends beyond Inuvik and into all of the communities to provide support for individuals that need to apply for this program, understand the program, understand what benefits they have under the program as First Nations and Inuit residents, that is good. Now, aside from the four people in Inuvik, if they don’t do anything other than just sit in an office in Inuvik and administer this program from behind a desk there, is there anyone else that can support people for applying for this program?
