Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question would be to the Minister of Renewable Resources but since he is not here, I would like to ask the Government Leader. During the last ten years, Mr. Speaker, there have been numerous studies done in my constituency. The bison study is still going on and we have had collars put on lynx. There is even talk of putting collars on moose. Last week, Mr. Speaker, we had a public meeting with the band council and it really disturbs the elders of the community that we allow these things to happen. We allow animals to have these heavy collars on. It really bothers some of the older people that we trap these animals, only to find collars on them. Their position is that those animals have been here for over 30,000 years. Just based on collecting data from trappers, you know where most of these animals would be caught. There are other ways beside collaring these animals. I would like to ask the Minister whether or not the intention of the department is still to put collars on moose in my area?
