Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the harvesting of renewable resources and the fishing aspect, the mandate of the fisheries falls under the mandate of the Government of Canada under the Fisheries Act, whereas the Trapping Program falls under the GNWT's mandate under the Wildlife Act.

Under the Fisheries Act, the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans issues commercial fishing licenses in the Northwest Territories. There is a total of about 160 commercial fishing licenses issued across the Northwest Territories, I am told. Approximately 60 plus licenses are from Great Slave Lake. Thank you.
