Mr. Speaker, the polar bear population has been considered to be at risk by the Government of Canada and certainly by the international community. What we have done as a government is a co-management plan with the Inuit, that is, the hunters, the aboriginal communities, the Wildlife boards to manage polar bears that has received international acclaim and has gained the respect of conservationists, environmentalists and the scientific community around the world. It is true, however, that for some conservationists, bears are animals that they never see in their life, but are concerned about. Unlike ourselves who have animals, sometimes everyday, wandering around our communities. We see these animals on a day-to day basis, as in this case encounters with polar bears can prove to be fatal, and our expected occurrences are those on a weekly, or daily basis. There is a different perspective that we bring which makes it almost imperative that we do everything that we can to make southern people, politicians, environmental groups aware of the realities that we face up here. Thank you, very much.
