(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The question that Mr. Ningark is asking, I could respond to him to say that currently in wildlife legislation, the females that are harvested, if they go beyond the quota by harvesting too many females, they have to confiscate the hide. I have to find out from my officials if the meat should not have been confiscated, as well. Perhaps, if the polar bear had a collar, it would have been tranquilized. I believe that's the way the regulation reads, but I don't think it was the intention, or it wasn't right of them to confiscate the meat as well. Thank you.
