Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The business with whales is all federal responsibility under Fisheries and Oceans. The quotas are, in many instances, set internationally. The federal government is responsible for managing its quota. I have no idea when the last study was done in this area with whales, but we can provide that information to the Member when we get hold of it. By and large, the best route to go is with the Nunavut wildlife management board when it is set up and running. It is probably the best forum for addressing these questions. Fisheries and Oceans and Indian and Northern Affairs will be represented on that body. That body will be primarily the body in the forum that is going to address all issues of wildlife and marine mammals in the Nunavut area. Thank you.
