Mr. Speaker, I think probably my first obligation as far as consulting representatives of aboriginal people, and indeed everyone, would be to consult with honourable Members who, I am sure, are very good representatives of the concerns of aboriginal people and aboriginal hunters and trappers. I intend to consult with Members and especially the honourable Member who is obviously very interested in and informed on this issue. I am not adverse to also consulting other organizations, but I would say that I believe that the Members of this Assembly are probably quite capable spokesmen for the interests of aboriginal people and hunters with respect to the WCB. Thank you.
