Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for Renewable Resources, and it is in relation to the Government Leader's statement today where the Minister will be attending a national forest congress to ratify our national forest strategy. Mr. Speaker, the constituency I represent, I am told, has 60 per cent of the forests in the Northwest Territories, and I have always been concerned about it. As you know, the Liard/Nahanni Valley resource management -- there is an interim committee being set up to mutually look at the land and try to shape what happens on the land, and try to maybe eventually involve an input of community members from that area, so there is a great concern for the valley. I want to know what this national forest congress is and what this national forest strategy is, because I would like to know if it is going to have an effect on the forests in the area I represent. Mahsi.
