Thank you, Madam Speaker. At the present time, I believe the Department of Fisheries and Oceans will continue to operate offices in the Northwest Territories that have to do with marine fisheries. However, I believe it is the intention of the Minister to transfer freshwater fisheries to the Department of the Environment. The time frame and the specific areas that will be transferred, I am not aware of at this point. It is our intent to start these discussions at the deputy minister level and find out exactly what it is that the Government of the Northwest Territories would be able to take over. Thank you.
