Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under resource management and economic development, the section of the budget here, one of the areas that's been looked at and worked on for quite some time now is the Wildlife Act and there was talk of hopefully bringing that to conclusion and closing that chapter of legislation. We've heard though recently that we will not have that opportunity. In fact, the draft legislation is to be tabled. It is bringing disappointment to many around the North who have worked on that bill and I am sure from within the department. The Minister did state in committee about the fact that there were some groups who were looking to work on that and wanted some input. I was speaking with individuals who've been involved in the Wildlife Act while I was home this past weekend and some comments made to me were the facts that they thought there was opportunity to grant inclusion if we could have used some extra forces or outside drafters in that area. I didn't get into a lot of detail with it, so I would like to know from the Minister the process that's being used for developing that legislation, has there been any extra horsepower put to it? What was the reason specifically for not being able to come forward with that legislation?
