Truly, to speak to those who are responsible for north of 60, I think you have such great responsibilities there. A number of years ago I had an opportunity to go with Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development for a study there dealing with barriers to northern development. We saw some amazing things and some amazing people.
When you mention that 92% of the businesses there are successful, I can see why, because, as I would tell people, some of the folks who are there would make great CEOs no matter where they were. They certainly understand the land and the things that are necessary. You've done a great job helping bring all of that together. I'm extremely pleased to see that.
One other aspect of it that I want to ask about, which I don't see in the main estimates, is the Northern Projects Management Office. Where would one see that and find out what is happening there?
The other question on the main estimates, of course, has to do with advancing adult basic education in Canada's territories. We see part of it, but we really don't know where it's going as we look at table one on the actual expenditures.
To get to the northern projects, one of the things, Ms. King, you mentioned was how important it was. It was established in 2010. A key part of this was improving the environmental review process for proposed major resource development. This was an initiative of the previous government, to make sure that there was a strong and rigorous environmental review that could be respected. Again, as you indicated, it gave the advice, the issues' management, the transparency, and predictability so businesses could go in there and flourish.
I wonder if you could first of all tell me something about the Northern Projects Management Office and the significance of the great work it did on environmental issues. Where should I be looking in these sheets, meaning table one of the actual expenditures and appropriations through CanNor? Then, could you just quickly speak to the advancing of adult basic education in the territories.
