Mr. Speaker, on the matter of gathering information on wildlife habitat, I believe that the question is not concerning reason or necessity to have that information and as much detailed information as possible, but more towards a method of how we are retrieving the information as it relates to the use of tracking collars. It is not my understanding that there is going to be a change. I know there is a limited use of collars for the purpose of tracking wildlife. However, I know in other areas there is quite a bit of interaction between aboriginal people, traditional knowledge and scientists. What I would do is relay the concern of the honourable Member to the Minister of Renewable Resources and have a report of what the future plans are in using tracking collars on moose. I would also suggest that perhaps if the honourable Member's area is not as inclined to coordinate activities between traditional knowledge and clinical scientists' knowledge, I will ask the Minister to deal with the honourable Member to see what can be done. Thank you.
