If I may, Mr. Chairman, I would like to just make one last comment. I think all hunters, trappers and harvesters in the Northwest Territories should commend Mr. Gargan for his diligence and his determination to make this amendment come to light. I know that, personally, I would like to extend my appreciation.

---Applause

Without him, this wouldn't have happened. Thank you.
