Thank you. I appreciate the comments from the Minister about the flexibility on this issue. I do agree with the Minister that some of the teachers in some of the smaller communities certainly enjoy getting out on the land with elders and learning about different cultures and that, and they appreciate being in the community. It sure makes a big difference for them to live in our community. They know that they’re taking a risk by going out, but they’re also learning a lot from the people. So I do want to thank the Minister for that.

Mr. Chair, the suggestion by the Minister about the flexibility in the programs I will relay back to my region and I hope that we can have some good discussions with the staff in terms of the flexibility.

They did bring up the issue of the high cost of gasoline in the small communities in terms of going out on the land and that, and sometimes that brings down the amount of money that they want because the gas is high. So I think that’s something they want to have some discussion about, but I take the Minister’s words very seriously and I will go back to my region and see what can be done for supporting our trappers.
