Thank you. I’m somewhat restricted in my ability to talk extensively about the outfitters; we are currently involved in litigation with a number of them. We are working our way through that process, but in terms of the future for the recovery of the herd, it depends on what the survey is going to tell us and we’ll have the numbers probably late 2015 or 2016. If the trends continue, I would suggest that the outlook for any type of commercial harvest in the Bathurst herd is going to be very bleak, that wherever there’s road access to herds the numbers have declined precipitously and the herds are in distress. So in this area if we’re going to focus on rebuilding the herd, keeping the hunting restrictions in place to try to give the herd all the help it needs, but the future is bleak when it comes to commercial outfitting in this part of the country. Thank you.
