Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell the House how serious this announcement is by the federal government in terms of closing the trappers' research facility in Vegreville to the northern trappers here in the Northwest Territories? I'm not too sure what kind of information went out to our trappers to know the seriousness of the closure of this

facility and what impact it will have on our people in the Northwest Territories, especially the trappers. Thank you.
