Mr. Chairman, there's a bison control area formerly called a bison-free zone. It was implemented in 1987 and it's a zone between herds infected with tuberculosis and brucellosis in Wood Buffalo National Park, northern Alberta and the Mackenzie herd. In the winter, ice cover increases the chances that bison from the Wood Buffalo National Park are able to cross the Mackenzie River and infect healthy bison in the Mackenzie sanctuary. This money is to monitor if there is any movement of animals out of their respective areas, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
