Thank you, Mr. Chair. This was an attempt on the part of the Department of Justice to identify and to review what the program of Lands was and to see what services would be required to Lands in order for them to be successful in their program. For example, there was initially determining if an individual has an Indigenous right to the land that is at issue. That is not often an uncomplicated process, legally. Then, also, as the program from Lands rolls out, to support the Department of Lands in terms of seeking to have somebody removed if they are, in fact, unauthorized in their occupancy, which is a legal process. It's anticipated and it's based on an estimate of the work load that will flow from that program. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
