Thank you.
The Economic Action Plan is an important part of the programs that are managed by CanNor. For us, the most important ones are the Community Adjustment Fund, the Recreation Infrastructure Canada program, and additional funds for Strategic Investments in Northern Economic Development.
Concerning the Community Adjustment Fund and the Recreation Infrastructure Canada program, we managed to get projects approved so that all these funds will be spent. The total is about $30 million, which is a lot of money for the north.Some projects still have to be approved, but they are in the system. We do not expect any major difficulties.
Generally, these are projects which have contributed to job creation and improved the economic situation in the three territories. For example, with the Recreation Infrastructure Canada program, small amounts have been distributed but they really benefited the communities.
For example, if we fix a cement pad for an arena in Nunavut, that has a huge impact in the community. Replacing a pool liner in an isolated community also has a great impact. So over and above creating employment, there are community benefits that have been very important. We're very happy with the way these programs have been rolled out in the north.
