Thank you. Mr. Chairman, it has been some time since I dealt with the specifics of that case and we were working on it with the Department of Justice, but as I recall, the proposition was made with the attendance of the Chiefs in this area. I believe the Metis were involved as well. We thought that would constitute a workable compromise, seeing as we were dealing with the primary concern, which was safety for everyone concerned. Secondly, not wanting to confront, or appear to damage the integrity of the aboriginal peoples' right to hunt in this area. We thought the pursuit of the issue of safety, as well as trying to still respect the aboriginal right to hunt, that would be a workable arrangement. Thank you.
