You've raised some specific questions about what we were specifically asked for. Again, I wasn't there, but certainly in 2009 we were asked specifically for three things. One was chemical analysis equipment for analyzing mineral samples; mineral exploration equipment to define areas of potential before opening up to private sector investment; and training and scholarship support for ministry staff and students. So those are the specific requests that were made.
Specifically, the first one, chemical analysis equipment, obviously has a price tag associated with it. Certainly neither my sector nor the department is funded to do that, and that is something that others like CIDA, for example, would have to provide the resources to be able to do.
