Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister of Renewable Resources. In the past several weeks, we've been hearing a lot on the news and seeing on television the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia transporting live wolves and live sheep to the United States for restocking their herds of sheep and packs of wolves in Yellowstone, I think it is, and other parts of the United States. The program has received both praise and condemnation from the public in both Alberta and British Columbia. In some places, they have asked it be stopped, and in other places, they are encouraging it. It has some possibilities for both those provinces to develop a relationship with the United States for restocking areas where there is depletion. I would like to ask the Minister of Renewable Resources whether or not the Americans have ever approached the Northwest Territories for permission to export live animals or birds from the Northwest Territories.
