I am very aware of the significance and the impact that the polar bear hunting and harvesting has on the north and I support the work. My concern is there is $335,000 in addition to, I assume, a certain portion of $3.559 million which has been approved is also used for polar bear work to support these management groups. Polar bear research, the endangered species, the concerns of international wildlife groups and the work we are doing in CITES, this is not new. This has been going on for years, so why could the department not incorporate that in their budgets rather than already coming back in a supp?
