Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I had a brief discussion on this motion with my officials two days ago. My department and I support the harvesting of whales as long as the population can be sustained. Secondly, we wish to see Inuit and Inuvialuit, especially, maintain their link with the land. We also support the management of whales by those who use the resources. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I will be supporting the motion, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
