Thank you, Mr. Chair. First of all, I'll have to go back to the department to see exactly, if you're non-compliant, what would the actions be taken. I suspect we'll be working closely with the City of Yellowknife because most of these guys are going to have a business licence to be able to conduct business in the municipality of Yellowknife as well. There must be some measures in place between the two of us that would shut down an organization, but I'll have to get more details and get back to the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don't have that detail in front of me. I'll have to get that information for the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My understanding, under agreement with the federal government, we are only allowed to charge a certain amount of administration against this program. The rest of the money is spent out under the Growing Forward program as it is laid out. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I have said, we are in charge of the marketing and promotion of this, but we can certainly have a discussion with the Minister of ENR, working cohesively together to be able to help the trappers in the best way that we can to support them marketing and selling their furs. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, when we have it completed, we can certainly do that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I believe that will be part of the PRA review. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is based out of Yellowknife, and this is for occupational health and safety, as I have said in my previous comment. This is something that we have internally funded within our department. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don't think we have that totally sorted out yet, but I suspect it will be something that will be able to hold the fish in a safe manner so that we'll be able to transport it to plant in Hay River. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Well, we do have our regional office that doles out and conducts our inspections. The other one that we've talked about in this House beginning in April is the tourism operators are going to have a safety plan going forward. Every one of them is going to have to be able to produce that. As far as outside operators, particularly if it's, as the Member said, from outside of the territory, nothing like that has come to my attention. I would gladly sit down and have that conversation if that is taking place in the NWT. Maybe it's something that's going to have to happen if...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I can't talk about any specific operation, but I can say that it's bringing forward eligible expenses all in one year instead of having to spread out over a number of years. That's what was the big impact on that line item. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
