Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we ran into a problem last year with the amounts and we are showing the capital list for this year and nothing in future years anticipated. Is that just a typo like last year? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In terms of how the estimates are developed, future years' costs are applied only to multi year projects. Projects like parks which are basically enhanced and go on year after year are not defined as multi year projects. Therefore, they would have no multi year costs. Most of your multi year costs would apply to construction projects which are greater than one year, generally less than three, which have a definite beginning and end. But our park's programs are mostly enhancements, so they are not defined as a multi year project and so they do not calculate any future year's cost even though there obviously will be some. Under the definition, it is not shown here. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Concerning parks for the Baffin region, Mr. Chairman, what happens when people get extensions under building and works. For example, Hall Beach, Igloolik and Pond Inlet have no parks, and they have beautiful country up there. I am wondering why there is never anything set aside. Is it because you require proposals from the communities to set up parks so they have them under this funding? (Translation ends)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With the settlement of claims, we have to work in partnership with aboriginal groups in dealing with issues of land and protected area strategies. In the past, the way it has worked is communities or regions would propose or request parks and, then, it would require us to sit down and work with them to establish camp grounds, parks and that type of thing. This has been usually the process. We do not come in and propose them. It is usually the communities and/or groups that do that. Thank you.
