Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't have the five-year capital plan with me. I am not sure if that would come from Economic Development and Tourism or Renewable Resources. They can't seem to work independently and they can't seem to work together. Is there a five-year capital plan or at least talks within two departments that the meat processing plant may be built in Coral Harbour to harvest 4,000
animals for the purpose of marketing them? I hear that these 4,000 head could be consumed by two provinces very easily. I am very much interested in whether there are talks to have a more viable processing plant, not so much to make beef jerky, but more of a wholesale meat market, along with a tannery for the 4,000 hides. I think that would be very profitable for the government. Are there talks along those lines?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. At the present time, there are discussions between the Department of Renewable Resources and the Department of Economic Development and Tourism about the possibility of a meat processing plant or other commercial areas that there may be opportunities for the residents of Coral Harbour. But it would not be the responsibility of the Department of Renewable Resources because it is a commercial facility and it would come under the Department of Economic Development and Tourism and not Renewable Resources.

My specific question, Mr. Chairman, was is there a discussion between the Department of Economic Development and Renewable Resources to plan the feasibility of that facility?

To add to Mr. Arvaluk's comment regarding this whole business, what is the difference between allocating a capital project that is commercial and one that isn't commercial? Is there a difference that makes it an economic capital allocation as opposed to a Renewable Resource allocation?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Where the difference comes between the two departments is that Economic Development would consider those projects which are of a commercial nature, where individuals are trying to make an effort in making a profit. The Department of Renewable Resources would be more concentrated on subsistence where individuals are trying to find ways to support themselves with wild meat or taking animals for a living.
Also, the setting of quotas of any type of wildlife is all in the hands of the Department of Renewable Resources. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, I thought people do hunting and trapping for one reason and that is to make money on the furs that they harvest. There is commercialism in that area. Can you still say that there is nothing commercial about hunting and trapping? Fishing is the same thing. I don't know why it is separated, I am just saying it is kind of ironic that something that should be in the Renewable Resource area is in the wrong area. The Minister is trying to justify it, but I am saying it shouldn't be.
