I appreciate the response from the deputy minister. I want to encourage the department to keep working away on those. Look forward to seeing them come forward to standing committee, particularly the conservation area legislation, whatever it might get called. I want to encourage them to keep moving forward on that. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Is there any other programs that are within this department or is there ITI? I am looking for harvesting, Tsiigehtchic gardening, is that in another department or is it your guys' department mandate? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There are other programs for harvesting. On a grants contributions, there is a community harvester's assistance program, local wildlife committee funding. We also have the Genuine Mackenzie Valley Fur Program that ENR administers for the most part. In the Northwest Territories, we do work closely with ITI. ITI does have a hide procurement program that uses the Genuine Mackenzie Valley Fur Program, the fur database to administer, but for the most part, these programs are administered by Environment and Natural Resources. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
