Thank you, Madam Speaker. There is a suggestion that we have sent to the Inuit regional hunters' and trappers' association that because the original basis on which funding was given to these regional hunters' and trappers' organizations was not rationalized on a territorial-wide basis, but rather on a case-by-case basis, it is difficult for us and perhaps very late, at this stage, to try to rationalize a basis for funding only from the government side. We have claims institutions being set up such as the Nunavut wildlife body. I believe that the wildlife management board being set up for Nunavut should have a major say in the way that funding is handled and how it should be provided. So we have asked for this question to be dealt with by the wildlife board and to advise the government on what should be done. As I said, there is funding going to this board from different groups. We think, in keeping with the intent of the claims agreement, this new body should have a major say in the way that existing resources are allocated. Thank you.
