Thank you. I just want to give my support to this program. I know that it may seem that this kind of program may not be applicable to Yellowknife, but Yellowknife is the biggest aboriginal population in the Territories. I know that in our schools, this has been delivered with a very close relationship with the ENR office in Yellowknife. They take dozens of kids out for a week or so and they teach them how to trap. I know that kids get a lot out this experience. I would say $125,000 is not enough to cover all the communities. The schools probably fund some of the money out of their outdoor and aboriginal program money. I think it's about time that the government is putting some money into this and there is probably a lot more room here for more money to go into. Every child should be able to partake in this. Thank you.
