Mr. Speaker, we are doing surveys on the muskox on Banks Island as well as the caribou. They said there is no indication that the caribou population is recovering. We have indications that the number of muskox on Banks Island have decreased but the population of the wolves has increased dramatically. The study is being finalized and will be used by the different management boards in March and April of this year to finalize whatever plans may be developed for assisting in the recovery of the caribou and the muskox on those islands. Thank you.
