Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's a decrease of $60,000 for supporting the Prince Albert Grand Council for the caribou work in Saskatchewan. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Some of my questions were answered here on the caribou strategy line, but just to add to that: weren't there any money set aside, or could be transferred, for the conclusion of a transboundary agreement particularly between the communities of Deline, Colville and the Nunavut Government on a trans-boundary because of the caribou calving grounds on their side, but the migratory route on our side?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There is a forum where those parties work together to manage -- consistently have management approaches for those herds in those areas, particularly the Bluenose-East, Bluenose-West, and Cape Bathurst herds. So they do have funding available for some of this work. Again, those dollars primarily flow through the land claims and, again, we provide support to those boards for that cooperative agreement. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My last question, Mr. Chair. Is it the department's wish or directive to conclude a trans-boundary agreement between the three parties I mentioned, the communities of Colville, Deline, and the Nunavut Land Use Planning Board?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The agreement between those boards has been concluded. They do have that agreement amongst themselves. At this point, I'm not aware of a link between that process and the Nunavut land use planning process. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wanted to get an understanding in terms of the Government's work, especially this Department, with groups that haven't settled a land claim in terms of what kind of resources the Government is providing in terms of assistance. So I wanted to see if I can get some clarification in terms of Wildlife Management Boards. Is that strictly for land claim groups or does that include non-claim groups? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. For the known land claim groups there are different pots of money for different processes with regard to some of the environmental assessments. For example, there's the IRMA Program for co-management of the wildlife resources. Most of that money flows from our Department, GNWT working with those Aboriginal Governments for the different forms in the engagement, et cetera, that we have with them on wildlife management. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wonder if the Deputy Minister can provide an example in terms of how engagement is flowing in terms of non-claiming groups and if maybe he could draw an example perhaps of an instance where some work has been done with non-claiming groups. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. One example would be the development of advisement management plans. The other one would be when we've recently established a committee for the development of a mechanism to manage the Bathurst caribou herd. So those are two examples where non-land claim groups come to the table and we provide support. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yeah, just maybe a final question, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to get some clarification. Where in this budget in the Interim Resource Management Assistant Program located? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The budget for the interim resource management funding is found in the conservation assessment and monitoring division under grants and contributions.

Thank you, Ms. Craig. Any further questions, Committee? I see none. Committee, under wildlife, grants, contributions and transfers, are we agreed with the information item on page 104? Agreed?
