Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Could Ms. Magrum maybe just give me or the Members here an example of one-time contributions in that area? Thank you.

Magrum

Thank you, Mr. Chair. For example, we had a $40,000 contribution to the Gwich'in Tribal Council, a $60,000 contribution to Sahtu Secretariat, $15,000 Hook Lake bison recovery, $50,000 Ducks Unlimited in Trout Lake, $75,000 University of Alberta. So it's made up of an assortment of contributions. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess I just wanted a little more detail on why is it just one time. What are these people doing that it's just a one shot deal here with wildlife management? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, they're one-time arrangements for isolated contracts and the difficulty and why it's at zero is because some of these things are not anticipated and they're various contributions. If you look at the document on page 11-33, it lists it as actuals that we report.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. I see those are actuals. So if we got $322,000 in contributions going out in 05-06, does that mean that in '06-07 we didn't have any applications coming in for similar contributions from the similar organizations?

Yes, Mr. Chairman, we don't have the detail on every contract as the Member is asking us to lay out. We'll have the deputy minister speak to how the process is set up.

Bailey

Thank you, Mr. Chair. These are individual projects with third parties that probably attract other funding from other funding sources to do specific pieces of work, as Mrs. Magrum mentioned; studies that were done with the Gwich'in Tribal Council, there's other ones here like with Wildlife Habitat Canada. So they are small individual projects that took place in the fiscal year '05-06.

Yes, just one more quick question. Since we make contributions to support all these research projects or small one-time projects, do we get copies of those?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have a quick question on the Bison Control Program for the Wood Buffalo National Park and also for just basically bison here and around Yellowknife too. Is that sunset, this program, because I don't see the funding for '07-08? Thank you.
