Madam Chair, the buffalo were taken possession of by the new owners last week. The new owners also agreed that most of the bison will remain in the facilities that have been constructed in Fort Resolution for this purpose. There are a number of bulls which are considered surplus at this time, so we have agreed to allow these to be shipped south as opposed to transporting them to Resolution and then shipping them south for disposal. There are also a number of young calves that, for feeding purposes, we have agreed to allow be shipped south. These will be returned to Resolution when feeding and weather is a little easier on the creatures. So we did have an agreement and the agreement can be made available to Members if they're interested in taking a look at it.
