Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we're working with the different land claims agreements. When we talk about changes to the Wildlife Act, the aboriginal people who have treaties see that as infringing on their treaty rights. So we are prepared to move ahead as a government, but you're going to have a problem in dealing with this issue. In order to deal with this issue, you have to consult with the aboriginal First Nations who have land claims agreements. They have wildlife provisions and they also have Treaty 8 and Treaty 11 that you have to deal with. So as the legislation, those are the issues that we're dealing with today. Thank you.
