(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would just like to express my gratitude, coming from Nunavut, that our animals are being protected and the fact that there is being research conducted. I have not received any copies of reports that have been researched. In fact, I know the Inuit have not depleted any of the animals that they hunt. There have been many researches in regards to the wildlife management. So, when the time comes for questioning, I will be asking questions on polar bear research. I know, for a fact, from my childhood, that the polar bears population has changed. In regards to that, I will be directing my question to the appropriate Minister, and I would like a definite answer. The Inuit have never depleted any of the animals that they have used, even though the environment is harsh and all the animals have a tough time living there, they still sustain the hunting environment. Thank you. (Translation ends)
