Mr. Speaker, there is a muskox management area designated in the east Kitikmeot, which the Member is referring to, that has a quota allocated to it of roughly, I think it is, 40 muskox on an annual basis. There has been a request that has been processed with the proper consultation and approvals from the designated bodies over the last year or two. What we require is to change the big game hunting regulations, in order to meet the request to change it to 55. The changes in regulation are presently within the Department of Justice, and as of this afternoon I am aware that is still, hopefully this will all be done in time to meet the needs of the region in the next few weeks. It is our expectation that we will be able to comply in time for the hunting season. Thank you.
