Mr. Chairman, there are no present plans to develop any more parks south of the lake, although I would indicate to the committee that there has been an approach from people in Hay River for this department to take over the campground at Polar Lake. Thank you.

In respect to the takeover of the campground at Polar Lake, that would be a territorial park, though, not a federal park.

Mr. Chairman, I just want the Minister to know that as a Member of this Assembly, I am totally opposed to the development of any federal parks, particularly any additional federal parks around my area. My constituents have been living by national parks, and it really limits our ability to harvest resources, or it limits our ability to hunt or trap around that particular area, considering the restrictions that national parks impose on individuals, and I would caution other Members to take this into consideration when federal parks are being considered for development in their area. But I do want the Minister to know that I am totally opposed to any type of development of federal parks. Thank you.

Is that the new name that is going to be there, or is it still the old name, Trout Lake or Trout River? It has not been changed. I know Nick was concerned about that. Has the sign been changed?

Mr. Chairman, I still have some problems with regard to tourism in my area, and that is with regard to seeing whether or not it is possible to maybe create a small park on that winter access road, so that people are not going to use the roads as places for camping and making a mess on the winter crossings.
