Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister responsible for Renewable Resources. On Tuesday, April 4th, I made a Member's statement with regard to the migratory birds convention, but it has been brought to my attention, Mr. Speaker, that the final negotiations with United States are going to occur later this month. I understand that the Canadian negotiating team is strategizing prior to those negotiations.

It has been brought to my attention, Mr. Speaker, that the dates set are next week, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 11th and 12th. I gave a written question on April 4th. I would like to ask the Minister when he will be responding to my written question because it is quite critical, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
