Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was wondering if the department might consider, since wood cutting for firewood purposes is not something that's done on a large scale, given the size of the forest that's out there, if it might be possible for the government to acquire a permit for a woodlot through the land and water board and then provide licensing within the mandate of the territorial government for people who might want to do this on a commercial basis. It might be in a tree-designated area, but it would solve the problem, similar to the way a municipality would secure a head lease on lands and then release those to clients. Could the Minister consider acquiring a designated area and then his department be responsible for issuing permits and licences for that purpose? Thank you.
