Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Registries and Court Services of $80,000 is to provide funding for administration of the Firearms Program. Is this government not presently in court fighting that particular ruling and if we are, why are we paying for a program that we are supposedly fighting? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The notes indicate to me that the net effect on the government will be nil as this funding will be fully offset by recovery from Canada. Just give me a chance to read the other notes here. We have actually sent this back to the federal government. The full $80,000 will be reimbursed to the Government of the Northwest Territories by the federal government. In fact, as of November 1999, the Firearms Program has been transferred to the federal government and the GNWT now has no role in the program, so we are just recovering the costs. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On this particular program, can the Minister tell us if the employees are seconded from the RCMP? Let me ask that question first.
