Thank you again, Mr. Chairman. There is another specific objective that is outlined in the Main Estimates, and that is that the department is going to draw up a draft of integrated resource management plan options for review by the Liard Valley Renewable Resources Management Committee.
I have been keeping pretty close tabs with the people in Liard and Nahanni on this particular initiative. It is the first time that the communities are attempting to take a close look at the resources in their particular area with an idea that eventually they are going to develop it.
I want to ask the Minister if his department has been in close contact with the committee, and does the committee know that this is one of the objectives of his department, to prepare these plans for options for their review?
