Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I hear what the Minister says about not adding money to the Community Harvester Assistance Program for the sake of not adding money, but I do not see this as simply adding money. I see it as adding money to add food for people who are struggling, and so I do see a direct correlation there. Just to support my colleagues and their words, I do support an increase of funding to this because I think it goes directly to people. That being said, I do have people who partake in traditional economy in the constituency that I serve, including trapping and hunting, and a lot of the assistance that did come through, especially from the federal government and through the GNWT went directly to Indigenous governments. I am wondering if there is any relief that is available directly to hunters and trappers and if there is a line item here where they can apply directly to ENR for funding relief. Thank you.
