Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have gone out to consultation with an initial document on the identified issues in the Wildlife Act. That round of consultations has been, essentially, completed. The revision of the Wildlife Act is being sort of dove-tailed with the species at risk legislation. The two fit together. Both of them require a tremendous amount of consultation.
We are now doing a discussion paper, doing consultation and building a discussion paper as we move along with that. We anticipate having the discussion paper, which would largely take in recommendations and advice from various groups, ready to come to Cabinet in the spring of 2001. We would then go back out again for further consultation with the objective of having legislation into the Assembly by the fall of 2002.
But as everybody knows, it is a very complex process because we get involved with other legislation, including our tourism act, and other ones. There is certainly a lot of interest from land claim organizations, renewable resource councils, hunters and trappers associations, bands, Metis councils, so it is a very complex exercise.
We are aiming at fall of 2002 for legislation. Thank you.
