go over the ground together, examine the financial possibilities,
review the man-power requirements, and decide on a project for
which I can ask for a reasonable sum of money from the Research
Council and the ±rovince of New Brunswick. There are also other
sources of money available to me but we need not bother about
that now. I want a project of two-three years duration with a
reasonable prospect of coming up with some useful management
recommendations at the end of it.
W%,e might have a student who could be put on it as a
thesis assignment fot the final fieldwork and the working up of
data if we want to at some later date. That is if it is not to be
carried on by the existing staff. Student fieldwork is restricted
to the sumner months only, and is therefore of limited value in
a problem of this kind. However this is getting a bit too far ahead
at this stage. Let us get the problem out in the open where we can
see it first, then we can worry about its final shape.
If you are planning to go to newfoundland next year
it would provide an ideal opportunity to drop off here for a week
to see how the project is going.
