(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand his response. However, the agreement which he is talking about in the individual communities indicates that the polar bear can be written-off from the quota in the case of danger, or if the communities are in danger. Polar bears that are three or four feet in size being caught in the traps has never been experienced in the community. There have never been any cases of the smaller bears causing danger. I would like to ask the Minister if this is included in the agreement which he is talking about in the High Arctic, is it part of the agreement? I know polar bears ranging in size from three to four feet are of no danger to anyone in the community. We all know any size larger than this is a danger. If a larger sized polar bear is killed, it is taken off of the quota. However, if a smaller polar bear is killed, is it taken off of the quota? Is this part of the agreement? Thank you.
