Just a comment on Ms. Lee's previous discussion and her comments. Madam Chair, the Take a Kid Trapping Program, does the department work with other agencies to enhance it, to include that certain part of a child's education is included? This is a real good program. This is the life of a child here. This is the one that will work good in our communities, in terms of education here. It has so many opportunities and we are contributing $125,000 to the whole Northwest Territories. We went to different regions in the North. We know it's not very much. I haven't seen anything yet from the department to show me this program could be enhanced by working with other departments; MACA, Health, Education, Justice, all these things that could get the child on the land, get the child to understand their aboriginal ancestors. As Ms. Lee said, I know some children went from here to Behchoko by dog team. That's a real good opportunity. I heard on the radio the other day that children in Fort Smith were out in the bush for spring. Trapping is alive and well in the Northwest Territories. So why don't we support something that is going to be here for a long time? Thank you, Madam Chair.
