Thank you, Madam Chair. I think this is important because it does affect Indigenous communities for unsettled land claims with help with their land and resource management. Is there any appetite from that department or from the Minister to lobby for more money, because it is important to help Indigenous governments in unsettled land claims? Mahsi cho.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, I just have a couple of quick questions, actually. With the conservation, planning and implementation, page 76, I see there is an increase here in funding to $5,263,000. Yes, it's the federal funding, some of it, but I know that Thaidene Nene and, forgive me, this is not my mother tongue, but Saoyu-Ehdacho are two candidate areas that were established, so I know that some of that funding will go there, but there are also seven candidate areas that are left to be established. What is the plan going forward with those seven candidate areas? Mahsi cho.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We have a conservation work plan, Healthy Land, Healthy People. It is coming to a close for that action plan, and we are planning to develop a new one. We are committed to continuing the work that is in the action plan. Thank you, Madam Chair.

One other question here, too: I am just looking at page 78 in terms of positions, as well. With the establishment of, for example, Thaidene Nene, I am just wondering if there has been any increase in positions with Thaidene Nene, with this line item. Mahsi cho.
