Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday in this House Mr. Krutko asked questions in regard to wildlife legislation being put in place to complement the Gwich'in and Sahtu claim. The Minister responded by saying that he was prepared to introduce legislation to complement these claims, however, he made no reference to the Inuvialuit claim. Mr. Speaker, the Inuvialuit claim has been in place for 14 years now and there is still no amendments to the Wildlife Act of this government to reflect the requirements to meet that claim. In the 12th Legislative Assembly, the Second Session, a bill called Bill 27, Wildlife Conservation Act was tabled in this House which specifically addressed Inuvialuit claim. I would like to ask the Minister why he has not introduced legislation that would, in fact, complement the Inuvialuit claim. The Wildlife Conservation Act, Bill 27, I understand, died on the order table but it is, in effect ready to go if it was re-tabled. I would like to ask the Minister why he had not addressed the Inuvialuit claim yesterday and would he consider re-tabling Bill 27? Thank you.
