Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask a question to the Minister of Renewable Resources. I meant to ask this question sooner, but I missed the opportunity earlier on. It is with regard to the importation of Christmas trees into the Northwest Territories. We get a large number of Christmas trees coming in from the western part of the United States and British Columbia. Mr. Speaker, last year there was an infestation of gypsy moth eggs, larvae, in British Columbia and other parts of the western United States brought in through some other means. We have a problem in the Northwest Territories with the spruce bud worm, which was imported somehow. Has the department reviewed or inspected the importation of the large number of Christmas trees coming into the Northwest Territories.
