Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not have that information at my fingertips, but I will pass it onto the Member. I think the important thing to point out at this stage is that if there are communities that are interested in participating in this program, we do encourage them to contact the department. We have a fairly limited amount of capital dollars that we can use to assist these potential operators. We are not talking about large amounts of money here. Some money has been used to fix up cabins for equipment and training and generally these are not large lucrative contracts. A typical bush camp may have anywhere from two to six offenders who are taking care of that camp and the way we pay them is on a per diem basis of $88 per day. I will give the information to the Member, but at the same time know we should work together in encouraging community members who may be interested in pursuing this line of work. Thank you.
