Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The wildlife guardians are chosen from the local hunters' and trappers' association with input from the local or nearby officer. I am trying to change the position. I am working with the Minister of Education to see if he can identify some training monies to train local people, who are chosen by the local HTA and also with input from the officer. This year we are able to agree that four training positions will be allocated to train wildlife officers. If we continue to do this then we can train enough local people to be officers for all the communities eventually. We would then do away with the wildlife guardians, which are part-time. Thank you.
