Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am not aware of the problem the honourable Member has brought up for the first time to me. I certainly will talk to my officials in the Department of Justice and see what measures can be taken to try to assist in resolving this problem with the potential of trespassing on Gwich'in land. I would like to say that I believe it is protected under the federal jurisdiction as it stands now because it is a federal land claim agreement, and I think that possible there might be some remedy there through looking at what laws are in place federally, and we will try to work with them in trying to look at alternative solutions and measures that can address their issue, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
