Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to Question O66-12(1), asked by Mr. Gargan on December 11, 1991, regarding renewable resources funding allocations. The Department of Renewable Resources provides support to harvesters through its grant and contribution policy. The policy covers a variety of programs. The grant and contribution policy contains a policy directive for each program. The directive explains how to calculate the amount of funding an organization is eligible for. The total amount of funding received by an organization depends on the number of programs it applies for and the departmental budget for a program.

I have provided Mr. Gargan with a copy of the Renewable Resources grant and contribution policy. The policy contains more detail on the types of grants an organization may apply for and the funding formula for each grant. Thank you.
