I’m hearing some great things, but my question was, do resident hunters or do outfitters have a seat at the table in these so-called public settings. I believe there’s opportunity there in consultation. It will take months and potentially another year to get the proper responses from community consultations regarding resident and commercial harvest allocations.

Can the Minister indicate why temporary tag allocation is not on the table now, especially with all the promising herd numbers discussed in this House?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in the House today in response to what was tabled earlier this week by the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources entitled Management Actions for Barren Ground Caribou Herds. Immediately I was pleased to hear that we have some herds that are doing quite well, such as the Beverly and Ahiak herds as well as the Bluenose-East herd. Although what was presented as merely a proposal on the potential limited resident harvest of these herds, we were left yet again with many questions unanswered for consideration.

The Minister mentions that we have caribou calving...

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Do you have witnesses you’d like to bring into the Chamber?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Committee, we’re on page 4 of the Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 3, 2012-2013. Finance, operations expenditures, deputy minister’s office, not previously authorized, $1.212 million. Total department, not previously authorized, $1.212 million. Does committee agree?

Page 10, Transportation, operations expenditures, highways, special warrants, $1.2 million. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. For that we’ll go to Mr. Aumond.

Great. We’ll commence after a short break.
