Perhaps the easiest would be just to look at where it has been successful. For an example, let's take a couple of Inuit bands in Newfoundland and Labrador that have received cheques in excess of $100 million just in this last year as a result of the Voisey's Bay discovery. Take Baffinland: that entire iron ore discovery was primarily funded through flow-through shares, the METC. Also, our whole diamond industry came from that.
So when the government says that it costs $100 million, I think we should ask what the return on that investment is. It has been a significant investment in our remotest regions where aboriginals are impacted the most. It has paid off. There is a reason why we are the number one mining country in the world.
