Madam Speaker, this is in response to a question asked by Mr. Antoine, on December 13, regarding consultation with Dene with regard to the hunting ban on the Ingraham Trail.

The regulations enacted by the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs prohibit the discharge of firearms in two separate areas along the Ingraham Trail. The purpose of the regulations is to promote public safety, especially during those months when caribou are in the area.

A letter from the deputy minister of Municipal and Community Affairs to Metis locals 55 and 66, the Yellowknives Dene Band, Ndilo Band, Yellowknife Hunters' and Trappers' Association and the Ingraham Trail Residents' Association was sent on August 12, 1993. The letter outlined draft regulations, a map indicating the areas affected and a request for comments. The departments of Municipal and Community Affairs and Renewable Resources did not receive any comments.

A meeting between Municipal and Community Affairs and Renewable Resources officials and the Yellowknife Hunters' and Trappers' Association, the Yellowknives Dene Band and Ndilo Dene Band representatives took place on October 5, 1993. The representatives raised concerns over the regulations at this meeting, however no alternatives to the regulations were suggested.

The regulations were enacted on November 26, 1993. There has been no further consultation since the October 5, 1993 meeting. Thank you.
