Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am assuming the development of policies and programs will be based on an overall strategic plan for the department that is consistent with the mandate. I do not see, from what you have told me and what I see in this corporate management summary, how it is integrated. This is a department not of just

economic development, but of resources and wildlife. Where in this particular structure is the planning process pulled together, so you have a comprehensive strategic plan for the department that reflects all aspects of the mandate?

Environmental and wildlife issues cannot just be the subject of policies and programs handled by the line staff. There are some very fundamental issues we have talked about in this House relating to water use, overall planning for resource development and timber management. The whole issue of wildlife habitat and trapping, could you indicate to me how it is tied together, since it is not clear to me?
