Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, caribou can no longer count on thick ice to support their island hopping in search of lichens that sustain them. Hudson's Bay polar bears are thinner and are producing fewer cubs. With the ice going out earlier, their seal-hunting season is shrinking. The town of Churchill in Canada has more jail cells for bears than for people, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, this global warming is an issue. It is something that has come up that affects us directly as Northerners. It is land that covers some of the constituencies in this House. The questions I will be asking later today to the Minister responsible for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development will be, are we doing our share in terms of dealing with global warming in the Kyoto Accord?
