Madam Speaker, thank you. I asked a line of questioning to the Minister of Renewable Resources during committee of the whole. I said to him that the scientific facts stated that there will need to be at least 6,000 to 8,000 caribou harvested in Southampton Island, otherwise the population is in trouble because there's a danger of over population. The people of Coral Harbour believe that more profit could be had if they could have a processing plant in their community. They also believe that 4,000 head a year would keep such a plant busy. They have been trying to have talks with the Development Corporation on this issue, but the meetings and discussions have not been fruitful to date. Can the Minister explain why, when there appears to be potential for a viable economic opportunity, the Minister is flatly stating that there will be none in Coral Harbour?
