Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Having visited the communities of Gjoa Haven and Taloyoak, talked to the people of both communities, and also in Pelly Bay, the hunters and trappers organization in the three communities have indicated to me, requesting the increase of muskox tags shared by the three communities. According to my information, Mr. Speaker, the current quota for muskox is 40 tags. The request of ORAY is 55 muskox tags, according to my understanding Mr. Speaker. In May, 1996 Kitikmeot Hunters and Trappers Association made a motion in support of an increase for the three communities. In May, 1998 Nunavut Wildlife Board made a motion in support of the request. In July, 1996 the legislation change proposed was sent from the region to headquarters here in Yellowknife. According also to my understanding, Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Justice has indicated the change of status of the quota will come into effect, or be enacted in early January, 1997. Later on, at the appropriate time, Mr. Speaker, I will ask the Minister of Renewable Resources of the status of the request. Thank you.
