Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with the increased economic development, such as building roads into the resources, the potential pipeline, I think one thing we have to realize is the species that is most impacted by any major developments, as we have seen with the Dempster Highway, is caribou. Wildlife in general, particularly the migration routes of these species which have to cross highways and pipelines, are affected.
We sometimes forget that they also have to be protected. I would like to ask the Minister what his department is doing to ensure that species at risk are going to be protected? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
