Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the honourable Member, Mr. Kakfwi, Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. Mr. Speaker, in today's statement the Minister talked about the National Wildlife Week, April 4-10th. In his statement, and I quote, "the Protected Area Strategy will help us maintain wildlife habitat by protecting wilderness and important traditional harvesting areas." Mr. Speaker, I would like to support the government's excellent position in this regard. I have also spoken in this House about the government's need to create an environment so that jobs can be created for the population of the Northwest Territories and we have been well represented by these people in the gallery today. I talked, Mr. Speaker, about the need for business to have a good voice into the strategy. I was wondering if the Minister could give the House an update on the voice of business at this particular strategy and some assurances that it is being well represented there to create the jobs and the environment for job creation in the future. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
