Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have a very comprehensive system of wildlife management. It includes licences, tags and quotas, hunting seasons and management zones. Management zones are then divided up. In fact, we have units that are consistent with the land claims areas in order to facilitate managing wildlife consistently with land claims agreements.

We have zones that are major ecological areas and those are in place. That is what the Member referred to. These are there to manage wildlife within those areas, but an ecological zone...I mean, for example, Mackenzie Mountains or the barren ground areas.

Then we have what we call areas. Areas are in place to manage specific species. These are tools used by our department to ensure that we are not over-harvesting any species. Thank you.
