That's why so much focus is on economic diversification in the communities. That's what the community development trust is for, and in areas that can continue in the forest industry, I think there's a $127 billion or $128 billion forest product innovation fund that's made available now, and I think there's more funding coming from the government.
I'll get back to Chief Williams. I just had a couple of questions on your brief.
Incidentally, the former Liberal government did give $100 million, no strings attached, to the Province of B.C. I think it came in December 2005; that's when the cheque was cut. In fact, there was no further promise of funding, because I was the forestry critic for our party at that time, and I questioned the government many times. So the $100 million, although good...the present government made a commitment of $1 billion over 10 years, and we've advanced $200 million, as you know. You're quite correct. All of the funding is in cooperation, and the decisions are made with the Province of B.C. And likely we'll continue that way because we're all partners in this.
I just want to ask, because there was a large contingent of money in that $200 million for wildfire protection, to protect our communities both inside and outside, if you knew how many applications from first nations were put in to secure some of that wildfire funding. If you don't, perhaps you could find that information. I'd be very happy to try to assist you in that respect.
