Mr. Chairman, I understand my honourable colleague's concerns. I don't thinks it's unusual. I think there are equal concerns across the territories, where you've got some historical and archaeological sites. The people want to protect their interests and make sure the artifacts in these areas are not damaged. We don't have any legislative jurisdiction, I suppose, the way I understand it, over who can come and who can go. However, I think my honourable colleagues idea of the possibility of establishing a park may provide some rules and regulations, if you want, as to how visitors would behave or what kind of regulations would be required to protect some of the historical remnants that are there from the amazon days, I believe it is. We don't really have any legal jurisdiction, but I think I would encourage the honourable colleague to ask the Gjoa Haven municipality to communicate with us and we'll take steps to start discussing the possibility of some kind of park proposal.
