Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Hate to say it, no. Not right now. We need to do what we said we were going to do. We need to work on it. We encourage people to reach out to their Indigenous governments to get access to the programs. If we're going to increase it, then we would have to look at increasing it for our Indigenous governments that we do use the money for. If there is an opportunity for this, I'm going to ask the deputy minister to clarify if there is an opportunity, then we can talk about it. Right now, I don't see that opportunity available. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Deputy Minister.

Thank you. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. No. I am keen to hear more about the trapper support pilot program that is going to be coming out. I definitely support the take a family on the land program and the Take a Kid Trapping program. I find that people in the constituency I serve run into the same type of thing where, for example, with the Take a Kid Trapping program, it's an application process that generally comes from a school board, say. The school puts together the application, it goes through, they decide who to hire. I can think of a particular person who lives two minutes down the road from me who is great with kids, who has really invested in traditional economy, and I also happen to have a child who is very interested in learning trapping and hunting. I am not a trapper. I am not the person to take my child and teach them how to trap, but I think that it is great when our younger generations want to partake. I have a nephew who would love to be able to learn traditional economy and be involved in his own culture and have the opportunity to learn, but the trapper and hunter who lives two minutes down the road does not have the opportunity to seek out funding to be able to get kids involved on their own, outside of the school. I'm wondering if within the review that will be taken into consideration so that, especially in our regional centres, especially in Yellowknife, people are able to take advantage without being associated with a particular organization. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you. As the deputy minister said, this is an opportunity to look at things. I would encourage yourself and the other individual that is down the street to be part of the evaluation, to talk to us. Get that feedback in there because, again, we need to get as much information as we can to make an informed decision on how we can improve the programs that we have or add new programs. Again, at the end of the day, it's about consultation, working with people, and people needing to provide their feedback as best they can to us. They can reach out to maybe the North Slave office, talk to them as well as yourself. You can bring their ideas forward. We would look at those things. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Last question: what is the deadline that the Minister is working toward to have the CHAP program and the associated programs completely reviewed and kind of fresh and ready to go? Thank you.

Thank you, Member. Minister.

Completely reviewed within the next four months, that's what we are trying to do. We're trying to have that done, completed, then we will bring that "what we heard" report back to committee. We're looking at a four month from around this time to have it completed. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Member for Kam Lake, anything further? All right, Members, if there are no further questions, please turn to page 73. Environment and Natural Resources, corporate management, operations expenditure summary, 2021-2022 Main Estimates, $14,547,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you. I will now move onto environmental protection and waste management, beginning on page 76, with information items on page 78. Questions? Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I want to start with waste reduction. I see that the line item for 2021-2022 under waste reduction has sunset. I'm wondering if the Minister can let us know the reasoning for that. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you. That was our agricultural strategic implementation. It was sunsetted. Work has been sustainable. Basically, it has been completed at this point, so we don't need that funding. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Member.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. There was a waste management strategy that was published in the fall of 2019, I believe. I'm wondering what has been achieved under that strategy to date. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. For that detail, I'll turn to the deputy minister.

Thank you, Deputy Minister Kelly.
