Madam Speaker, I don't know and I don't think anybody knows how long it takes for aspirin to take effect once you take it, and how long it stays in effect. I answered that question already. It's a technical question. I have no idea what kind of drugs are used in researching and tranquillizing polar bears. I have no idea of the amount that's used, and how long it takes to kick in and how long it takes to wear off. As I said earlier in response to the Member for High Arctic, I will ask the department to provide that information. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, the Dall sheep have been one species in the Northwest Territories that have limited harvesting from aboriginal people. It is currently down from what used to be harvested, traditionally, when there were more Dene people frequenting the mountains. However, we find in recent years that sport hunting has taken on a high interest so there is a quota set up for the harvesting of Dall sheep. I think they average about 200 per year. These are almost all sheep that are considered mature, that is with full curl to their horns which is what trophy hunters look for. Based on our previous surveys of these Dall sheep populations, we think we are well within the percentage of the allowable harvest quota, more often well below it so we think we're doing all right.

In response to some of the concerns expressed by people in the Deh Cho region we are looking at the issue again to make sure the surveys we have and have based our allowable harvest on are accurate. We're accessing whether we should do other surveys. The Member should know that the surveys, as far as I understand, are very, very expensive because where the sheep go most people can't. It's usually on the side of mountains, very inaccessible and very difficult to cover because they cover huge ranges of areas that are considered almost inaccessible. You can go on foot, perhaps, but then you can't keep up with them. So it's helicopters and aerial surveys that are done in the remote areas where it's difficult to fly in and not always easy to get out of.

Again, we are concerned, of course, with maintaining a healthy population of Dall sheep. They are, again, a species that is sought after by international sport hunters. It does bring in some money to the Northwest Territories in that regard. We also know that many aboriginal people still depend on it for harvesting in the summertime. So we take great concern with it. We're accessing whether we need to do additional surveys at this time. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, what we have is an assessment with some people in the Deh Cho region who are concerned that the population of Dall sheep may be declining. It's not for us to be absolute in our own judgement, but we have nothing other than that to base our own assessment. If some individuals are saying that in the Deh Cho then it must be true, therefore we will go on the assumption that they are declining. I think the assessment that was done is saying that they have reason to believe they may be declining. But there hasn't been anything done yet to meet with the Deh Cho to decide how to confirm whether there is reason for concern or not. There hasn't been, as far as I know, any move yet to get together to say what are we going to do about it and what is the basis for the concern that's been expressed. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, my recollection from one briefing I had is, for instance, in the area of caribou we don't go anywhere close to what we believe is an allowable harvest number. Most of the harvesting and taking of caribou is moderate. That is well below what we think is an allowable harvest. I think if there is a request to allow groups or communities to take a larger amount, particularly for commercial reasons, I don't know what the procedure is, but I think a request should be forwarded, perhaps, directly to the department and it will be directed to the appropriate office for response. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, the Member can get his community to direct their request directly to me and I will get advice from the department as to where it should be directed. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister of Justice. It's merely a clarification. Last week my honourable friend across the way, Mr. Antoine, made reference to correction facilities in a statement. He referred to site selection as Inuvik. I understand that it may have been a mistake, but there was no correction made by the Minister in response to it so it's on record. I just wanted to clarify, Madam Speaker, if decisions have already been made in the establishment of a correction facility in the communities of Inuvik and Iqaluit.

Madam Speaker, the answer is no.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Social Services. Madam Speaker, we heard earlier today that Justice and Social Services are now providing separate responses to the family law review process. I was wondering if I could ask the Minister of Social Services when we might expect a discussion paper from Social Services with their response to the family law review recommendations.
