Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to Mr. Kakfwi, the Minister for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. I have some questions for the Minister related to the status of hunting regulations and the current Wildlife Act. As the Minister is aware, last spring I had a request of clarification on changes to the hunting regulations on behalf of several individuals and groups, such as the Canadian Armed Forces.
Last July, Mr. Speaker, the Minister advised me that the Canadian Forces northern area, their request would be considered and they would have equal opportunity into the public consultation. Both myself and the Member for Frame Lake and Yellowknife Centre also wrote to the Minister in support of the Canadian Armed Forces' request. Neither myself nor the commander of the Canadian Armed Forces have been updated on this outstanding issue. My question is, could the Minister advise the House what public consultations have taken place in my community relating to changes in hunting regulations and the Wildlife Act? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
