Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The question I am going to raise is regarding my Member's statement with regard to the forest in Liard Valley. The community of Fort Liard has set up a forest resource committee to try to develop a forest resource plan. I have already talked with Dwight Noseworthy about this. Hopefully we are going to go into Liard in January.

I know that Renewable Resources and Economic Development both have interest in the forest. But will the Ministers work with the community to help them develop a forest resource plan, since the government has stated that the direction of the government is for more community control? The community has strongly indicated to me that they would like to be very much involved in the development of that resource. Mahsi.
