Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Over the course of this week I have had a couple of my constituents bring concerns to me regarding the applications for general hunting licenses. These individuals were members of Treaty 11 and have supplied all the necessary requirements to ensure speedy processing. These applications were submitted in December, 1996 or the first part of January, 1997. It has been at least a month since the applications were submitted. After calling to find out what is taking so long to get their general hunting licenses, the residents were told that it would take at least eight months to process. It seems to be an extra long period of time for something of this nature, considering one can pay the nominal fee for a regular hunting license and get it the same day. The same goes for your driver's license and most other permits that a person can get. My question to the Minister responsible for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development is, why does this process take so long? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
