Thank you, Mr. Chair. SEED is usually fully subscribed right across the Northwest Territories. The one thing that I've looked at since I became the Minister of ITI is how are we using SEED and how effective is the SEED Program being implemented for economic development in the Northwest Territories. I could speak of this program because, before I got elected, I used this program to start off my business and I imagine there are a couple other people in this building who have done as such. It's a great program; but once I became the Minister of ITI and had to look at SEED, how it's being implemented in the regions, I believe that we need to have a little better look at how we're using the money for this program. Is it actually going to create economic development and diversify our economy in the small communities? That's one of the things that, as a Minister, I'm having the department have a good hard look at. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
