Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As we initiated and charted off with the Water Strategy, we had extensive contract assistance. It was a very highly specialized area. We had all very, very limited water expertise in the department. Over the last year there’s been a diminishment in the contract levels, especially as it pertains to water. We’ve now had the benefit of getting some resources to set up our own land and water unit. We’ve been able to hire people of the calibre of Dr. Kelly. We still rely on specialized services periodically.

On the forestry side, of course, we make extensive use of contracts with fire crews. We make extensive use of contracts with planes. Some of the caribou work we do there’s only two planes in North America that do that, that kind of take pictures and be able to count all the caribou. There are a number of areas where there’s highly specialized areas. We’ve been working hard to cut back on our level of contracting now that we actually have the strategy in place.
