Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Right off the bat, there is going to be environmental work needed to be done. Almost every aboriginal community down the Mackenzie Valley has a lands and environment committee that has a great traditional knowledge of the territory they are involved in and I believe that the department would be wise to approach them and to see what kind of curriculum they could work with these groups to marry the scientific and traditional sciences so that the best possible baseline studies could be done.

I would inform the Minister that this year is almost done so this is pretty much a three-year plan. It is not a four-year plan as it has been introduced until now. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
