Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. In Coral Harbour, as I told the Minister before, the caribou are a source of excellent quality meat. The communities specifically request Coral Harbour caribou. The commercial harvest quota is 4,000 heads. However, the community has not been using this quota because it has not been economical, as the current rate of $1.25 per pound offered by the NWT Development Corporation, gives little to no profit for the hunters. Why is the rate set only at $1.25 per pound?
