Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is one of the things that we are looking at, and the Member is onto it. There is money that they can use right now for certain things and money that they cannot. That would be the proposed legislation, once we do the review, that we would want to come back to the Assembly and change so that they could do that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I have said in my earlier comments to Member Thompson, this is our equity portion of Growing Forward, the new CAP program. The federal funding is totally separate, above that. That will be in the grants and contributions that show later in our binder. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I can't remember specifically who the individual was, but I remember they sent me a letter saying they wouldn't have been able to do their program in the Northwest Territories without this program. While we were at Mineral Roundup at the AME, I had a couple of people come up to me who thanked us for having this program in place and the other initiatives that we have to promote the mining industry in the Northwest Territories.

I don't have to tell the Members of this House that there is a lot of interest in mining in the Northwest Territories. As things start to come...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 16)
