As the Member knows, the caribou population is quite high all over, in the western Arctic and in the Baffin area. There is still a problem in the smaller communities. The quotas are still small. In the community that I represent, the quota is about 50. The problem is the assessing of the caribou.
Let me say, Madam Speaker, before you land in Pond Inlet, right now, you have to scare the caribou away and then the plane is able to land, there are so many of them.
Would the Minister undertake a review of commercial quotas, with a view to help communities get economic development going and also to address the need to serve country food in hotels and other places. Thank you.
