Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the department has done a good job over the years of making considerable contributions, especially to other organizations, NGOs and the like, that do work on our behalf. In particular, the Arctic Energy Alliance, we give a significant sum to every year, and they do an outstanding job in making sure that their programs and services benefit the residents of the North. Recently, it has been brought to our attention that a particular program within the Arctic Energy Alliance, and unfortunately, I don't have the exact name of the program in front of me, but again, it was successful, it was oversubscribed, and so it has a shortfall this year. I heard that it is around $50,000. Maybe it is more.
I am wondering what kind of decisions the Minister is making as it relates to finding a way to be able to credit those people who were applying for programs that late this year discovered that the pot had ran out. Will the Minister find a way within his means to be able to credit those people who went and made those purchases, like we would have wanted them to do? Can the department find a way to help give Arctic Energy Alliance some money to be able to back-pay those people who made their purchases during last year's budget cycle? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
