Thank you, Madam Chair. During our engagements to develop the Sustainable Livelihoods Action Plan in 18 communities and at three regional meetings, there were concerns that were expressed about how the funding through CHAP was put out into communities, so we've agreed to do a review of CHAP funding this year. Another comment that was made was that there was a real need for some harvesting mentorship programs in communities to support others to get out on the land and harvest safely and responsibly. We are looking into training and mentorship programs under the Sustainable Livelihoods Action Plan. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can someone tell me, this review that's going to be done, is it being done internally, externally? Do we have a cost figure for that review? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can someone tell me, I understand that it's application-based or request-based, that the money does go to local wildlife committees. Is this an oversubscribed program? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Following this review, is the department waiting for the review before it makes any decisions about increasing the funding for this program? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just in regards to the Take a Kid Trapping program, the uptake in that in my riding. It's really helpful with the community. Is there any plan for increases if people are not taking, like other communities are not taking advantage of that program? Are there opportunities for other communities to get more funding to do more with the communities? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. How is the department, I guess, looking and making sure all the monies are being spent? I know, stuff like this, uptake would be really big in the communities. How is it being tracked so they're not losing money or having to give it back at the end of the year? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. My understanding is it's contribution agreements, and they have to provide reports as part of the contribution agreement. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. That being said, the contribution agreement, if they're not spending the money, the money is sent back. What happens to that money once it's sent back? Thanks, Madam Chair.
