Mr. Speaker, we had indicated that we would be complying with the direction given to us in the last legislature. Having discussed it with my colleagues, we had made a decision to still have a reduction, but only have a ten percent reduction from what the previous year's allocation was. There is, in fact, a reinstatement in complying with the request made initially by the Member from the

Nunatsiaq that funding contributions to the Hunters' and Trappers' Associations under the wildlife committees be reinstated in previous years. With the fact that all institutions and groups this government not excluded were faced with reductions, we felt a ten percent reduction from the previous year would be within the spirit of the motion that was passed at that time. Thank you.
