Mr. Chair, I'm pleased to answer the question. As was noted, in partnership with Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, we are working to improve the program that had existed and to actually improve some of the tools available in the north through the nutrition north Canada program. As was noted, this is a new component for Health Canada.
We realize it's one thing to have the food available, but all of us understand the notion of changing our eating habits and understanding what might be nutritious is part of an education program. We received money. We have $1.5 million in 2010-11 and $2.9 million in 2011-12 and ongoing. Most of this will be in contribution funding. We will work with communities and have them help with retail- and community-based education initiatives. Again, it's a sense of what the communities will identify as some of their own needs, what it is they feel would be helpful to increase knowledge of healthy eating, how people develop the skills and knowledge to select healthy foods, and perhaps prepare foods differently from what they are traditionally used to.
Again, this is working in partnership with communities, in partnership with the territories in many cases, to try to provide some of those opportunities and some of the experiences and tools to make sure we build the capacity for ongoing knowledge on nutritional eating in the north.
