Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In determining the annual allowable cut, I also understand that it is also...(inaudible)...to go to the communities to see if there is support for any kind of development in the forestry area in the immediate community area. My understanding is that the timber supply analysis will not be completed until 2003 for the South Slave, the North Slave River area. Although that is still in progress, the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act has pretty much cleared Mr. Patterson to develop areas in the South Slave River area and the North Slave River area for cutting. Does the department routinely grant permits, which they have not yet, to companies in areas for development where there is still an ongoing study to determine the viability of that area? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
