Yes, I heard that. The $36 million puts us at less than 50% of where we were with FedNor's budget 10 years ago, so that's very troubling. However, I'm very concerned about this announcement, that it's all out of Minister Bains' office. Hey, I like Minister Bains. He's a great guy. But I don't believe that a minister in Mississauga is going to be making decisions for the small communities of the north, because your government tells us that these decisions are going to be in line with its national priorities. The reality in a rural isolated community in the far north is completely different. We need small development. When a mine shuts down and we lose 300 jobs, we don't get 300 jobs back. We get five. We get six. We get eight. However, I see that your priority—and it's been said by Mr. Bains—is to have investments in larger projects and in superclusters. Where are my superclusters in northeastern Ontario?
