That's a very good question. For instance, in Guatemala, we are contributing...I believe last year it was getting close to $80 million in terms of taxes and royalties. That's not just to the federal government. We also pay a voluntary royalty to the local government.
That's where the challenge occurs. There was a very good point that was brought up in terms of making sure these types of activities will continue after the life of the mine. We transfer these funds to a local government and we'd like some of the activities we do to be sustainable over the long term, but they don't have the capacity to put forward an economic plan in terms of looking five to 10 years down the road, and saying what they're going to need.
Canadian companies get involved in looking at the local plans and trying to identify the necessary items they need for economic development in the region, but we need to be able to build that capacity in terms of implementing those plans.
Now through our CSR work, we try to build that local capacity. This is where we believe government organizations, and non-governmental organizations also, can assist us in providing training for that local capacity. So when there is an influx of funds that come to them due to an extractive project, they will have the ability to take those funds, invest them wisely in their people, communities, and their businesses so that these types of activities will survive after the mine is gone.
