Mr. Speaker, I have a different question for the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. Mr. Speaker, it's been pretty well publicized in Hay River that there is no place at present where the public can buy cord wood for fireplaces and not everybody is in a position to go into the bush and get a permit to cut for personal use. So it would be beneficial to everyone if there was a process whereby permits and applications can be processed in a more timely way. I do have a constituent now who has gone to RWED in Hay River and is looking for a permit to cut wood for resale. The process, as it stands right now, is a fairly lengthy paper trail and would take one or two years to be approved. Is there anything this government could do to streamline that process so that somebody could get into the wood cutting and selling business in a timely manner? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
