Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have water resource officers that are regionally- based positions. They work closely and are cross-appointed with Lands officers as well. Since devolution, the water resource officers have also been cross-appointed and we are working towards cross-appointing them in all of the regions to be environmental protection officers, wildlife officers, forest management officers, and recreational fisheries officers. For compliance, there will be officers there who are able to do multiple tasks. There are other regions where there are not environmental protection officers any longer because some of the other positions have been able to take on those responsibilities within those regions. It's our understanding that that can happen in the Deh Cho as well and that is why the reduction has occurred in that region. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
