Madam Chair, I’m certainly not a defeatist. I’m a real optimist, believe me. I always believe that we can get to where we need to go. But the fact of the matter remains. We put $1.8 million into supporting the outfitters. I will mention this, we also contributed $900,000 on this product diversification marketing, some of which accessed this funding to try to diversify their operations so they can get into different lines, not
just caribou outfitting, but different lines of operations, whether it’s getting people out on environmental photo shoots or taking photos of wildlife. Some have looked at that. We’ve put a lot of effort into these programs.
Again, this is a question of how long do we continue to put the money in there. That’s all I’m saying. I’m not taking a defeatist attitude. If we had a defeatist attitude the money wouldn’t be in the budget this year. We need to continue to support them. I’m not saying we don’t support them. I’m just saying we have to make some decisions here soon on how long that support is going to last. Thank you, Madam Chair.
