Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, for a number of years now, I believe it is three years, the community of Sachs Harbour has been operating on a self-imposed quota of one caribou per family, per year. Now, I think everybody would realize that caribou are not very big to start with. They are imposing on themselves already in order to help to increase the herd. Over the last five to ten years, there has been nothing but a decline, rather than an increase. After this particular meeting the department is talking about, is there going to be some serious actions taken as to exactly what we could do to preserve this herd from extinction?
