Thank you. The earliest this would impact on the budget would be this fall. It is my hope that we can provide some very clear indications of support to trappers before they head back out -- to encourage them to head back out -- on the land this fall by providing some certainty to the prices they can expect for their fur and the kind of support we will give them as trappers. This is going to be done using existing resources. Without having something definitive in mind, the budget is simply done using the conventional allocations, that is, the ones that we used before. That is the reason it is done the way it is.
