Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department is fully aware of the impending resource development that is starting to happen around us, especially in the oil and gas sector, so we need to take these recommendations from the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board and other suggestions to start looking at what we as a government can do to protect the people who are traditional harvesters out on the land. We are taking these recommendations very seriously. There is work being done, I am told, and we will look at the work that has been going on for some time. I understand that some time in March we will have a report to look at the beginning of how we could deal with this type of impending resource development. Thank you.
