Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With your permission, I would like to speak to the motion. At the present time, we are serving Lac la Martre with staff from Rae-Edzo. At the present time, we do not have a staff house in Lac Is Martre. We do not have a person year in Lac Is Martre. Given the present budget restraint, we feel we cannot afford to address the complex at this time. Thank you.

Why was it in the budget in previous years if there was no provision for a position and staff housing? Why was it in the budget before?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It was the previous Minister who made the commitment to build an office/warehouse in Lac la Martre without having the person year in that community. Thank you.

I know we are talking about capital budgets here, but this may have some capital implications. Is the department looking at some sort of harvesters' support program? Are you investigating or working on any type of Territories-wide harvesters' support program?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is this to support hunters and trappers, and will it be providing some contributions, or can you give me some idea what the status of it is?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The community harvesters' program is specifically used to support and fund the community-organized hunt. We will be discussing that during the operations and maintenance budget. Thank you.

A few years ago there was a joint federal-territorial program called Special ARDA, Agriculture and Rural Development Agreement, which provided capital equipment to hunters and trappers. Is there any other program that exists, or are you looking at anything to replace that to support capital equipment for hunters and trappers?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Not too long ago FMB passed some funding in the amount of about $600,000 to assist the local hunters and trappers to buy equipment such as skidoos, outboard motors, boats; something that is similar to the Special ARDA that was in place about two years ago. Thank you.
