Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The issue of the number of permits and documents that a wood-cutter has to acquire, we can look at it, but it is complying with various regulations, some federal, some territorial, for different purposes, that are necessary right now. The Member is suggesting that, perhaps, they should be simplified. I would be happy to review that and see if we can do it. Even if we could drop it by one or two, we could see if it can be done. If it can't be, I will be prepared to let the Member know why. We will look for remedies for that. I believe we should keep things as simple as possible for everybody involved, without compromising on the things that we are asked as a government to uphold.
On the business of general hunting licences, especially for non-aboriginal people who marry into a Dene community and a Dene family who are required by culture and by the community to provide for their families, then I am very supportive of finding ways in which to allow them to do that. I do know that, if you are a resident for a number of years, then you become eligible for a general hunting licence. If you are married before 1979, then you are eligible. As long as your hunters' and trappers' association or chief and council supports you, then it should not be a difficulty.
