Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With regard to the firefighting issue, we

started training Northerners very seriously last year, so we have at least two levels. We have an elite level trained to the national standard that can be exported if they have capacity as part of our agreement with all the provinces and territories. So if they need to go to Alberta or any other province, they can go just as they ship firefighters up here. They are trained to the national standard, the elite firefighting contingent. Then we have emergency firefighters and firefighters trained not quite to the same stringent standard but can still successfully operate in the environment in the Northwest Territories.

I’m going to the deputy to talk to a whole host of very specific issues here about the trapper training and the gun safety and your concerns about the Take a Kid Trapping Program and more evidence in our curriculum and our schools. When you are ready to talk about the Renewable Resources Board – I am assuming it’s the Bluenose-East – we’d be happy to have that discussion.

In the life of this government, we expect to be concluding just about all the transboundary agreements we had on our to-do list, which will be a huge, huge accomplishment. We are prepared to sit down with the folks in Colville Lake to talk about your suggestion of a renewable resources officer I even on a part-time basis to see what needs to be done not only with furs but other monitoring issues. Mr. Chairman, with your agreement, I would ask the deputy to speak to some of the specifics, fur trapping certification, issues that Mr. Yakeleya raised. Thank you.
