What about the use and research on different types of traps, for example, the conibear 110s? Why are they not legal or allowed to be used in the north?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Conibear 110 is not considered a humane trap. In some experiments it does not kill the animal in three minutes, but it is an alternate trap if you run out of humane traps. The reason why the conibear 110 is not considered humane is the springs are not strong enough to kill the animal every time it catches. Thank you.

Thank you. In terms of disaster compensation, I assume this includes floods, earthquakes, et cetera.

It includes trappers and hunters, if they run into a problem of losing something. In some cases it has applied to floods. For instance, if a hunter's cabin goes down the river or is flooded, we have been able to compensate them, maybe not to the full amount but help them to establish again. Thank you.

Do you have information as to who received these grants, both in disaster compensation and humane trap development? I know there is not much there, but I would like to know.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, we have the information and can provide the information. Unfortunately, we do not have it right here, but I could provide it to the Members. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, under the trappers' incentive subsidy, the individual trappers do not always keep records of their animal harvests. Given that, I am wondering if the department monitors the program to make sure those individual trappers who harvest animals are given the money they deserve. Does the department monitor the program to make sure that every trapper who has trapped for the year, at the end of the year, is given the grants which are earned by that individual? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The only grants we provide are, for example, if a person is selling furs we get the record and the person receives assistance from us. If a person is using the furs themselves, then we do not know how many are being used. When the hunter or trapper sells the product, then we can give them a little bit of help. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, you get the record of the animal harvest through the dealer and if you get the record, automatically that individual is given the grant according to the harvest, or does that individual keep the record and apply for the grant? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, the person does not have to keep records. We get the statistics from the dealer. Normally, we pay once a year usually in October. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask questions regarding the outpost camp program. I am wondering how widely this program is used by people in the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is utilized by the eastern communities most often. I could provide the Member with a list of outpost camps that we support in the eastern Arctic. Thank you.
