Thank you, Mr. Chair. I understand the importance of protection of the caribou herd. We live amongst the caribou herd, so we understand the protection. I have heard from a lot of the elders in the regions that I have travelled to about the protection of the caribou herd. This is a supplementary appropriation. This is $1.10 million in addition to the money that we appropriated during the budget session in February-March. Again, I could work with the department and compile all of the information in addition to this money here, the other money that is allocated. I think that it is a fairly significant amount.

I understand the Member's concern, and it is a concern that I heard from the elders, who I take very seriously, because they know the land and the caribou a lot better than we do. We have enhanced the program. It's a start, and we would continue to enhance the program and work with our Aboriginal partners to make sure that we have the best protections available to the caribou herd. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
