Thank you, Mr. Chair. I, too, look forward to the activities of this department and focusing on the programs identified within this department and comparison to what we have existing in the Sahtu.

If you were to take away industry, which industry is gone, for example, and take away government capital projects, you virtually have nothing, so you are kind of depending on the initiative, marketing initiatives, of this department as one component and relying on this department for diversification and marketing initiatives and supports to the existing enterprise, which is hard enough in our area...

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister Schumann.
