Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have been working with the Gwich'in and Sahtu Dene-Metis, people who are responsible for their wildlife management regimes. They are fully engaged, along with the Inuvialuit, in the development of a new Wildlife Act. During our discussions, the way I am reading it now is that they are quite satisfied with the way they have been engaged. They haven't said anything about breaking off and doing something on their own. I have checked with my staff and we are looking to see if anything has come forward in that regard. At the present time, we are currently engaged and working together very well. They have legal counsel, which we have funded, who are engaged in the development of this legislation. I think they are quite satisfied with that to date. Thank you.
