Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a followup to the question Mr. Picco posed earlier regarding fish quotas in Nunavut. I believe you indicated we have sent a request to the federal Minister, Mr. Anderson, regarding the concern we have, but to date, we have not had any response. Would the Minister take it upon himself, possibly at the first of the week, to inquire as to what the answer will be to our request, given the fact that it is only a week or so before they will make a decision, on the quotas? Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I assume the Minister will get back to us next week once he has an answer. Can the Minister tell me what value is placed on the fishing industry in Nunavut? Does he have any idea?

It is an important new industry. As I have said earlier in regard to management of wildlife, our fish stock would be the same, that the more we use it, the more important it is going to be for us as to how well we manage it and take care of it. That is my view. The more important it becomes to us economically, the more important it is going to be for us to be involved in the management preservation of these resources.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was referring more to the dollar value. What dollar value is attached to the industry in Nunavut? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. What I will do is get a rough estimate of how many jobs we think have been created, for instance, in Nunavut fisheries, how many assets have been bought and how much money has been made from sales of these products in the last few years. If we can and provide it to the Member next week. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am curious about the Fred Henne Park expansion in Yellowknife. What is the size of the expansion we are looking at and what does it really pertain to? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Fred Henne Park in Yellowknife out at Long Lake is the most heavily utilized park in the Northwest Territories. There are a great number of people locally, as well as southern tourists, who come to use the camping facility. We have had to turn people away in the previous year because we had no more room at the inn, so to speak. We have supported a request to add to the facilities at that camp site, add a second loop, make sure there are proper roads and facilities in place to service the growing demand by campers and tourist from down south from these facilities. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Same page on the Prelude Lake Park and various North Slave, going on to Rae Lakes Park, Hidden Lake Park and Renovation Park. Are these all the expansions? The amount of money allocated to those areas varies from $18,000 to $170,000. What is the difference between those areas? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you. Mr. Chairman, these parks are all on the Ingraham Trail, and there has been a growing demand by visitors, tourists and local users for increased expansion of facilities at these sites. The access roads, bathrooms and camping facilities are provided at those sites. These monies allocated are to expand the present facilities in the area for use by campers and tourists.
