Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary to the same Minister. Although my colleague to my right, Mr. Steen, offered to me 5,000 muskoxen from the Sachs Harbour area, I'm not at liberty to request from that island. Mr. Speaker, since I received a letter from the hunters' and trappers' organization in Taloyoak that the July 1995 survey has in fact indicated that the population has increased on two of the islands; one on the Prince of Wales Island and the other on Somerset Island. In fact, with increases, there is a danger to the caribou population grazing in that area. One of the ways to ensure the conservation is to get an additional five tags for harvest, a limited number from that area. Will the honourable Minister get back to me as soon as possible about his decision on the quota? Thank you.
