Thanks, Mr. Chair. There were a number of reductions on this page. Just wondering how those were decided upon. These are contributions that are given out to different Aboriginal governments, communities and so on, to, I think, engage in some of our processes. So how were the reductions made? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this would probably have been a result of our overall reduction exercise. If we find in the future we need to allocate these type of dollars again, then we can make some adjustments in the future, but it is part of our overall reduction exercise. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Just so I understand it, you have 2015-2016 Main Estimates here. Then there are the revised estimates, looks like there are no changes made. Do we know how fully subscribed those programs were in 2015-16? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the quick answer is they weren't fully subscribed. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I don't want to prolong this, but could maybe the Minister or the staff get back and let me know what the year ends were for 2015-16 for those programs? They can do that offline. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, as I said, they weren't fully subscribed to, which is correct. I actually have the number here. I thought I would try, "They weren't fully subscribed to" first. The actual number is $546,000. They still weren't fully subscribed to. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my question is whether the Minister can tell me about the role that Lands is playing in the establishment of the Thaidene Nene Park and how that is reflected on this page?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, it is just part of the business of lands. We provide information and support to the department of ENR. There is no particular line item for it. It is just part overall of our operation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a couple of questions. I noticed "land use sustainability" has gone up but the other areas have gone down. Could the Minister explain why the increase in this area? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The increase is due to two internal reallocations. One is $50,000 contributions that previously we had under the line item for Land Use Planning unit and $202,000 reallocation of contracts-based funding.
