Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Of course there has been an ongoing concern by the Inuit in the communities of the High Arctic about the future of the Peary caribou herd. As you know, as a result of some rather severe winters and unusual winter conditions, the Peary caribou population has dropped dramatically in the last few years. In the next few days, I hope to see a workshop in Yellowknife with a number of different parties to address the issue of what should be done and who should be taking the lead and the responsibility for addressing the concern of the future of the Peary caribou herd. Thank you.
