I will not pursue any further. It sounds like there is clear cut logging in specified areas. However, they may be smaller clear cut areas than you would have in other jurisdictions, where they take literally hundreds of acres out. It seems to me that we have come up with our own system whereby it is clear cut, but it is clear cut in a very small chunk. My last question is one which I have already spoken to the Minister about, I was told this summer there was wood being brought into the city which had been banned in other provinces. This was wood which had been cut in British Columbia and the timber had been killed by a certain kind of bug. It was being sold at gas stations across the country. It still had eggs and bugs in it. I suppose by now any wood in Yellowknife from that source would not be much of a danger because everything would be dead. Other provinces had banned these bundles of logs which were being sold in gas stations because of the potential threat to the forestry in those provinces. I have already spoken to the Minister about this. I know several people in the community know about this and have raised it. I thought perhaps he would have an answer on this issue.
