Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I stated earlier, the instructors that we use are qualified and certified instructors in this area. We believe that courses offered by Aurora College are appropriate courses. I am not sure specifically -- perhaps we should get more details on the specific issue that industry is raising because we feel that there is certainly recognition of a need to ensure standards are met and a need to ensure that this is nationally recognized. If an individual does receive a certificate or training in some area, that can be applicable elsewhere. We are very interested in ensuring that. We do believe that is available in most of our areas. If there are specific areas, I would certainly welcome the opportunity to look at this in more depth. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister inform the House of what the outcome of his meetings are going to be with the oil and gas industry in Calgary on the whole area of certification so that he can report back to the House and see exactly where those areas are in regards to our certification versus what their expectations are?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will go a step further. I would certainly welcome the Member to join me in my meetings in Calgary so that we can raise this issue. I think it is obviously an important issue. It was raised and I would like the Member to join me if he could, or other Members. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of RWED, the Honourable Joe Handley. Mr. Handley, I understand there is a new bison management plan in the works right now for bison between Rae and Fort Providence. I would just like to know if that is the case. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I have to say that I am not aware of a new bison management plan for the bison in the Rae area. There certainly has been an allocation made between Providence and Rae, but in terms of a new plan, I am not aware of one. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister, the quotas for the bison tags, Providence versus Rae, is not equal. Can he tell me if the department will be looking at equalizing the bison tags for all residents in the Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Joe Handley Weledeh
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when the allocation of bison was made, it was based on the number of bison that were within that community's traditional hunting area. So in the case of Providence, a quota was set. As the bison have moved north toward Rae, then again a smaller quota was set because of the lower numbers of bison in the Rae area. I would be happy to look at those or have the department look at those at any time if it does not appear to be fair. Thank you.
