Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As the past chairman of the Hunters and Trappers Committee, although you are saying you are making money available to the actual hunters and trappers themselves, and I understand this will have to be matched equally by dollars, a lot of hunters and trappers still practice this style of life and need the support of the central location of an office to help them access different program areas and understand a lot of the changes that have come down. For example, gun control has raised a lot of concern in the Territories. Without a place like an office to go to, they would not receive the help and, in some cases, the translation to make it more understandable in layman terms. I am very concerned that we are cutting so much out of all these areas, from the committees that help the people remain in this lifestyle. In some areas it is fairly active and productive, actually a bit profitable, especially if the prices of fur are going up. I am very concerned we have hit so many different areas all at one time. Can the Minister inform me of what affect that will have on the different committees and boards? Is there an average number that will be affected or will it be higher in one area versus another? Thank you.
