Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to be sure that I can distribute that to interested parties. Is that something that I would be able to pass on to my constituents if requested? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will double check, but I am sure there is not an issue with that. It is no different than a grants and contribution report. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have 40 seconds left, so I will go back to fishing. I believe the Minister mentioned there was a fishery position. I heard this also at the Fishermen's Federation meeting. Has someone been hired to help coordinate this revitalization strategy? If not, when will they be hired and where will they be located? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

All right. Let me have a look here. You know what? That is okay. I will pick it up when we get back to the departmental total. Thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I would like to know: there don't seem to be any line items here for economic diversification business support that might be related to supporting the arts other than there is a Great Northern Arts Festival contribution and the film industry rebate program. How does ITI Support the arts?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We support the arts through -- so the Member knows, on page 215, the economic diversification line, the $3,396,000, and also through the SEED program. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Really, it is just the SEED money, the Great Northern Arts Festival, and the film industry rebate program. That is it? Those are the only streams of money that are available for the arts? Is that what the Minister has just said? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. That was all SEED money, though; right? Is that what I think I heard the Minister say?

No, Mr. Chair. That is not all SEED. That is all of our allocation between SEED and the line on page 215, economic diversification line. There is some money that comes out of that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
