So this is application based. So the communities actually apply for it. When we have more applications, we try to find the money within. But for how we do the processing and how we do the budgeting, I will turn to the deputy minister to get her to explain the process to the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. For that detail, I'll go to the deputy minister. And with your permission, I'll ask her to provide a little more bit more detail as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. So those six sites are part of the negotiations. We didn't take them over from devolution. But for further detail, maybe I'm wrong, so maybe I'll look at the deputy minister.

I don't know what hunters the Member is talking about, but I know the hunters that I've talked to, I've heard from, they bring the hide in. They're bringing them in to their communities. They do a lot of time the families use it. And so it's very much the hides are brought in, whether it's the caribou or the moose, they bring it in. And I know in my riding, we have elders that work on this and they sell it, or they actually I had one lady two ladies that I know, do the hides and then they make use that to make their slippers and their gloves and that.

For that detail, deputy minister. Thank you.

Thank you. There is no looking at shrinking the mobile zone. The mobile zone is done with where the caribou are, where our collared caribou is. And it's also working with our Indigenous governments and the renewable resource board of Wek'eezhii Renewable Resource Board. So we work with Indigenous governments. We work with the councils, the leadership, and we explain it; we work with it. And it was developed in collaboration with our Indigenous government. It was with the Tlicho. They talked about it. If you look at the Bathurst right now, we're at about 6,200 caribou left. The Beverly is...

Yeah, that there, I would ask the Member to ask questions on that with the Infrastructure Minister, what plan B is, because I don't have what plan B is in front of me. But maybe the deputy minister may have further clarity on how we move forward on this. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
