Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Presently we have been having some discussion or are about to initiate discussions with the people in the Fort Providence area as well as the Dogrib communities to review the regulations that govern access to bison on those particular areas. We are contemplating possible changes to regulation. We would be in a position, probably, to suggest that they would not be immediate; that is, they would not take immediate effect. While I can't suggest that all people of the Northwest Territories are even interest in having input into regulations governing bison hunting and access to bison, I would be very interested in hearing suggestions from the Member should he have suggestions now or in the future about how we could allow for public input into changes to regulation or draft regulation, should we propose them. I would be prepared to consider how we can provide, for instance, the public of Yellowknife and perhaps the Deh Cho and other areas that would be interested in having input in these types of regulations. Thank you.
