I love that question. An initial amount that we would need? I don't know, but $10 million would be just fine.
The situation in Canada's high north is at crisis level. I'm not surprised at all that your colleague raised the Sudan. Anybody who studies Canadian demographics knows that what's happening with the Inuit community is at crisis level.
The Inuit women are truly the agents of change in the north. It would be wonderful if we were serious about microcredit and about establishing something within the current banking system. It wouldn't necessarily be Pauktuutit that needs to make this happen; we aren't the economists. But we would certainly love to facilitate it; we would certainly love to help.
There's isn't a small town I know of in the north that doesn't have 20 or 25 women who, with just a little bit of help—I'm talking about microcredit and even about training—could help support their community. We all know what happens. When women get their feet under them, they don't just support themselves and buy a new car. They support the children, they support the schools, and they support the health system.
So I'm a big fan of it. I wasn't being facetious about the $10 million, but I don't know what it would take. It wouldn't take a lot. People are doing it in third world countries.
There are fewer than 60,000 Inuit in Canada. There are ridings in downtown Toronto that have more people than that in them. It's a solvable problem, and it would be just so wonderful if the government took it on and said let's make this happen.
