Mr. Chairman, the carcasses of the deceased bison were destroyed in that particular manner. I think it was 45 gallons of aviation fuel and a cord of wood. I might point out, though, that out of this $1 million, there was quite a bit of work generated in that area because there were crews out there taking care of the carcasses and burning them. Mr. Chairman, yes, the experts tell us that burning does kill the spore. In fact, one of the places that they were burning one bison, the bush caught on fire and caused a forest fire, which we had to go in and fight after it started. We are advised that burning does take care of the spore. Whether or not the Department of Renewable Resources has plans to do burning in that area next year, I don't know, Mr. Chairman. I am sure that we could find out for you. Thank you.
