Thank you, Madam Chair. My colleague from Frame Lake covered a lot of the questions I was going to ask, but that is fine. There are a few questions I want to ask anyways. I am just looking at some sunsets here, the alternative harvest and the monitoring and range planning. Can the Minister explain a little bit about that, why these two line items are being sunsetted? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The alternative harvest funding was a one-time pilot funding project to assist harvesters in exploring alternative food sources other than caribou. Although there was no budget allocated ongoing, we have this year provided funding because of the mobile zone being as large as it is and the difficulty accessing caribou, so several Indigenous governments have received alternative harvest funding this year. Could I ask for clarity on what the other item was that the Member was asking about, please?

Thank you, Madam Chair. This was also one-time funding, and it was to support Indigenous governments' and organizations' involvement in Boreal caribou management and range planning, so that work was scheduled to be completed in that year. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I am just concerned. We were just mentioning that caribou management, it's just important work, and I just do not want to see anything being taken away from that. I think that we need to make sure that we protect all our wildlife. I don't know. It just seems like this one-time contribution, I think this should be something that should be continuing on. That is how I feel about it. I am sure a few of my colleagues do, as well. I am going to move along here. That was just a comment. The wildlife management board, I saw it someplace else here. Maybe I am going off a little bit here. Can the Minister just explain what this is, this line item here for $118,000?

Thank you, Madam Chair. This line item is for contributions to support the wildlife management boards across the NWT. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. The other item here, too, there is a decrease, as well, not so much a sunset, for the stewardship program. Can the Minister explain why there is a decrease there, as well?

Thank you. That there is due to internal alignment due to historical actuals. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Sorry. I did not catch it. I heard a sneeze. Was that "historical actions"?

I am just wondering about historical actual. Okay. Good. Can the Minister just elaborate what is meant by that? Thank you.
