Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I notice on the page you have disaster compensation on there twice; one for $300,000 and one for $15,000. What's the difference? Why are they not together?

Mr. Chairman, under conservation education and resource development, the first item listed is disaster compensation. This is the amount of $15,000. This is allocated to assist trappers who, for instance, lose equipment because of natural disasters other then forest fires. You look at loss of a sled because of ice break-up, or boats or skidoos.
Under forest fire management, the $300,000 is allocated to replacement cost of cabins and equipment that trappers lose as a result of fires. It's cheaper to replace cabins than to protect them. For instance, I think there have been occasions when cabins have had the protection of fire bombers, and everything is burnt for miles around except the cabin. It becomes of almost no value to anybody.

In other words, no wildlife can live around that cabin. Thank you. Mr. Steen.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wonder if the Minister could clarify whether or not this would include a natural disaster. Is a grizzly bear considered a natural disaster?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We haven't defined a grizzly bear that way yet, or the actions the grizzly bear engages in.

Mr. Chairman, with the introduction of quotas on grizzly bears in my region, there have been more and more problems with grizzly bears wrecking trappers' cabins and property. I am wondering about the wildlife services. What do they have in place for compensating trappers for this problem with the overabundance of grizzlies now? Is there some program in place that would assist trappers topossibly protect their cabins, like electrified fences or whatever?
