Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is correct that the Department of Renewable Resources initiated a study to collect harvest data from hunters and trappers in 1986. The regional council agreed to coordinate the study. In this harvest study, the community field workers were hired and paid by hamlet councils. The agreement was that the hamlet councils would invoice the Baffin Regional Council. In a number of cases, the hamlet councils never did invoice the Baffin Regional Council. We know that this study was done. We are obligated to pay for that study. Because of the accounting problems that are being experienced by the Baffin Regional Council at this point, we are unable to find the proper invoices and accounting for the Baffin Regional Council. As a government, we have said to the Baffin Regional Council that we are willing to help them to put their books in better order so that the full accounting of this money to B.R.C. could be made by the department. Thank you.
