Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are concerns by people about this proposed management plan. Some of it is around the issue of traditionally there has been absolutely no hunting or harvesting of wildlife allowed in the Thelon Game Sanctuary. Recently, I believe, the Wildlife Management Board for Nunavut has proposed a new management plan which would allow for aboriginal people to hunt for subsistence hunting in that area and that is contrary to what some people, business people and others, feel is acceptable for the area. This has led to the concerns being expressed. Thank you.
