Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would assume that they are full-time because, as I mentioned earlier, there were three positions, $589,000, plus there was also $150,000 in contract services. I would assume that they would be full-time positions. However, I want to make sure that I do provide the right information, so I will work to get the correct information, and I will share that with the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, I think we are scheduled to get some more information on this in the next day or two, so maybe the Minister might have it in time for that. I will give him a secret heads-up that I will probably ask again at that thing. So, yes, I am okay with this for now. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. There is $1.1 million here for conservation and recovery of the Bathurst and Bluenose-East barren-ground caribou herds. The Minister knows that I have been after him quite a while on this. Can he provide a little bit more of a breakdown of what this money is actually going to be used for? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In our tour of Tlicho and listening to some of our Indigenous partners, they talked about our ability to do the herd composition surveys, and I think we had made a commitment that we were going to try to get out a bit more. The herd composition survey is approximately $230,000 of this $1.1 million. Collars, there was always a reluctance to try to use collars, but, once they realized the type of collars that we are switching to, I think they were a little more receptive to that and, if there was anything that they could do to help monitor the herd a bit more, they agreed with. I think we budgeted $90,000 for that. Tlicho Government Boots on the Ground is a great program, and we are trying to expand that. We have allocated $40,000 for that. We also made a commitment to restore the fire crew at Wekweeti, and that's $85,000. The North Slave incentive program for wolves, we have budgeted $200,000; wolf management action, $300,000; fire science research position, that's $115,000; and the O and M to support the research was $50,000. That brings us to the total of $1.1 million.
I was looking for a bit more level of detail, but this breaks down what the money is being used for. If the Member would like more detail on exactly what the plans are for each one of these allocations, then I would be happy to work with the department to provide the information to the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the breakdown, and I am looking at the same breakdown here, which is great. Can someone tell me: is the $115,000 fire science research position the position that is going to be tasked with actually developing the recovery strategy? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
