Mr. Speaker, I believe the regional study that is being conducted started in December of 1994. It will not necessarily report to any one group, I don't think, but it is being funded by the Minister of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs and the Government of the Northwest Territories through the Department of Renewable Resources. The two governments have each committed up to $750,000 per year for five years to do the study. They are also seeking the remaining third portion of funds they will require from other potential partners, who include First Nations, industry and environmental organizations. I don't know that there is one group or organization that they report to. But it will be something that will be made use of by industry and both levels of government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
