I have been a recipient, and the Yukon Research Centre has been a recipient, of CanNor's funds.
I think it is necessary. The north is the future for Canada, and that money has gone to some very interesting and great projects that have not only helped northern Canada, but the circumpolar countries.
In terms of the distribution of those funds, I thank CanNor for having a regional office in Whitehorse so that we can deal with them directly. These funds have been spent to good use, and I would like to see more coming to the north, because northerners know what it takes to live up here. We are innovative, and we can develop technologies and innovative ideas and solutions that we can sell globally. That money from CanNor has helped those efforts.
