Mr. Speaker, to supplement my friend's question here. Can the Minister of Renewable Resources assure this House that if he finds out it is illegal to hunt -- I know it is legal for scientific purposes to do scientific research by helicopter; that is not in dispute. But in his statement he stated that these bears will be hunted and after that will be given to the participating Inuit, and they will have the right to sell them by using regular tags. If that turns out to be illegal, as we were told many times not to use airplanes and helicopters to hunt such species, if he finds out that it is illegal, will he have no option but to go by dog-team?
