Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a quick question and clarification in regard to the issue of those moosehides that are apparently left in the bush and possibly making arrangements with the hunters of South Slave, around Thebacha and Fort Resolution, to bring them in so it could be put into service in the north, where there is a shortage of moosehides.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are working to try to have this implemented by this fall. As to finding a way to make it economical for hunters to bring moosehides back into the community, as opposed to disposing or discarding them in the bush.
We are doing it by two means. One is to provide some monetary incentive. That is, we will find some way to purchase them or have them purchased at the community level. Secondly, to look at reintroducing the tradition to all communities teaching women, children and men how to prepare and tan moosehides the traditional way and perhaps, even more recent methods of tanning hides. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman. It is good to hear those specifics. Mr. Chairman, I was just wondering if the arrangements to provide incentives would it be under this particular information item on page 11-24 or would it be done somewhere else?

There are no specifics on how we are going to get the program running. We are going to be talking to communities with hunters and trappers and other community groups to give us some advice on how we can best do it that meets the interests of the communities and ourselves. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could I get a breakdown on what the $2.6 million on Inuvialuit participation costs are? What exactly is that?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Inuvialuit participation costs, I do not have the details on, but there are certain commitments that were made by governments to conduct studies and to carry on work that fell under the responsibility of this department within the Inuvialuit settlement area. We are funded by the federal government to carry on this work within the settlement region. This is the money that is provided. As to how it breaks down, I do not have the detail. We will have to provide it to the Member at a later date, probably tomorrow. I do not think it is difficult to get, but I do not think I can access it this afternoon. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the Minister's response. I would appreciate a copy of that particular breakdown. Mr. Chairman, would it include population surveys of grizzly bears?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. They may be included in there, yes. There are certain commitments on conducting wildlife studies which are provided for under the agreements. Again, we can provide that detail to the Member. By tomorrow afternoon, we should be able to provide it to him.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason I am asking it at this point in time is, I am trying to clarify whether it is the responsibility of the game council or whether it is the responsibility of this government to implement those particular surveys, for instance, surveys of Peary caribou or surveys of the grizzly bear population. There was a wolf survey going on at one point in time under the game council's direction. This is why I am asking the question at this time, Mr. Chairman, to find
out to whom I would address this particular question. Thank you.
