Mr. Chairman, can I ask the Minister with regard to the grants area, the trapper incentive subsidy is not in this year's budget. Can I ask why it's not in this year's budget or has it been taken over by the fur price program? Now the fur price program is what used to be the trappers' incentive subsidy. Thank you.

Yes, Mr. Chairman. The trapper incentive subsidy was finished in 1994-95 and was replaced by the fur price program in 1995-96.

I just have one more question, Mr. Chairman. How does the Nunavut hunters' income support trust program work?

That is a trust that is being administered by Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated. I'm not aware of the particulars of this program.

If you're not aware of the particulars, you must have some idea with regard to giving $3 million for this particular program. How does it work? Does it work anything like the fur price program? I know it's part of their claim so I'm just trying to figure out how it works.

Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask Mr. Handley to respond.

Mr. Chairman, our government puts in $3 million a year for a five-year period and the residents of Nunavut, through their land claims agreement, put in a matching amount. The money then is managed in a trust fund by a board. That board has worked out their own schedule of how they make contributions to harvesters. It's more than just assistance to trappers, it's also to assist people with hunting and so on. They have worked out their own arrangement and I believe, very generally, what they're doing is providing a program similar to the old special ARDA program doing it through this. They also have money available for individuals who need support to get out on the land and do their harvesting. I think, generally, the way their trust is set up is they are working on the interest from the money that's provided through the claim and through our government.

We have agreement. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Minister and his witnesses for assisting the committee to deal with Renewable Resources.
