Mr. Speaker, more than ever, this legislation is probably more crucial at this time period in the development of the NWT. We are talking about diamond potential in the Mackenzie Valley. We are talking about a pipeline development down the Mackenzie Valley. The animals and the wildlife species in the NWT threatened by the impacts of major developments. That's why it's crucial we have this type of legislation. I have heard from my constituency that harvesters are being impacted by development already. There is nothing in place for the wildlife boards to protect the harvesters. What is this government doing to ensure that our harvesters are protected from the development that's taking place knowing there is no legislation there to protect them?
