Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am supporting this motion. I know the local hunters and trappers association does a lot of work and, due to some unfortunate circumstances, they have not had any funds for some time. This is the first year they will receive a bit of funds and I know it was not very much. From the looks of this, those funds would almost be cut in half. The money they receive is not even enough for a part-time secretary, never mind someone to run the organization and to ensure that things are happening properly and information is being disbursed, perhaps safety courses are being organized and run, those types of things. I can not in all good conscious agree to see this fund reduced by close to half. I will be voting in favour of this motion. Thank you.
