Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, regarding wildlife habitat, we have several species which are not unique to the North. They travel across other territorial boundaries. In some cases, international boundaries. I mention the Porcupine caribou, the Bluenose herd, and other species. There are international agreements regarding migratory birds.
With these developments, we have to also realize we are protecting species not only for the people in the Northwest Territories. We have to ensure we are fully involved in international agreements and relationships with neighbouring governments in other countries.
I would like to ask the Minister; what is the department doing to ensure we are fully and actively participating in dialogue with our neighbouring governments? Are we trying to find ways of establishing co-management boards, to ensure we participate fully in all aspects of wildlife, particularly the impacts these developments have on wildlife, with other jurisdictions?
