Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Okay, and I would appreciate that and it would be good to see that, but I hope this isn’t indicative of a regular practice of overestimating stuff that comes up in a supplementary appropriation and then that money just going to the department and we never ever track it or see it again, because we rely on those estimates that are given to us. We take them at face value. So I hope this is an irregular, extraordinary situation and not common. Perhaps since the Minister is the Minister of Finance, he could comment on that. Thank you.

If the Minister is serious about resolving this issue and where the dispute is between authorities and jurisdictions and, more importantly, an outfitter, I’d like to ask the Minister if he’s willing to facilitate a meeting between the different regions, the renewable resource councils, the aboriginal organizations, to talk about this particular matter and try to find ways to resolve this issue from happening in the future by having a meeting sooner than waiting a couple months down the road and coordinate a meeting within the next couple of weeks.
