Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, just quickly before I give the figure, the commitment, since I have assumed this position as Minister, has been a two-step one where our initial and immediate focus is to accomplish, get a commitment and get a piece of legislation for a Species at Risk Act into this House in time for passage in the life of this Assembly. Once we have done that, we will have broken trail and we will be able to carry on then. The next step would be the Wildlife Act and that would be done over the life of the 16th Assembly coming up in 18 months. We have met with the involved co-management boards. We have worked out a process. We know that timelines are every tight, but there is a commitment by all parties to meet those goals, so we can have a piece of legislation. We have, I believe, $100,000 committed for '06-07 and another 50 for '07-08, so we can carry on with consultation and preparation. Thank you.
