We are not in a position now to consider building any more new infrastructure for the buffalo herd from the Hook Lake Bison Recovery Program. We only have money in the O and M to continue what we are doing in Fort Resolution. We have been waiting for about five years now for the federal government to decide what they are going to do with the diseased herd in the Fort Smith area. Up until now, they have only been doing studies and we cannot continue to do what we are doing forever. So we need to work with the community of Fort Resolution to see what they want to do. At this point in time, there is no concrete plan of action on which way to go. We have been exploring possibilities of what might be coming up in our discussion as we were in Fort Resolution. So there is no concrete alternative other than what we are doing. Thank you.
