Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to thank all the witnesses for coming today. It was a very interesting flight here in the Yukon.

I was listening to a number of you speak. Certainly you mentioned Canada's economic action plan, Building Canada, SINED, the community adjustment fund, the R-in-C, and of course CanNor. So it sounds like you have access to a whole spectrum of funding to address things from infrastructure right through to business development.

With all of these programs that have been announced and put into the plan, is there anything in the current suite of programs that it doesn't address? Are there gaps that you think maybe CanNor could fill?
