Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the legislative agenda before division is quite comprehensive and there is no possibility that we could undertake a comprehensive revision of the Wildlife Act before division takes place. Any substantive revisions to the Wildlife Act will have to take place after division. We have been drafting an amendment to the Wildlife Act that could be ready for consideration by the Legislature in the next session perhaps that would make it clear that the provisions of the Gwich'in and Sahtu claims will take precedence over the Wildlife Act. Just to make clear the precedence that the Gwich'in claim and the Sahtu claim have over the existing provisions of the Wildlife Act. This is sort of an interim generic provision that we intend to introduce to make it clear where we stand in regard to the wildlife provisions of the Sahtu and Gwich'in claims. Thank you.
