Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, it is a very serious and potentially dangerous issue and I would like to tell the Member and assure the House that we have been in discussions for some time now with the Department of Transportation as to how to best address this issue and do what we can to keep buffalo off the highways. It would be nice if they did it on their own, but unfortunately it's nice travelling on the highways and probably relatively, if you consider going into the deep bush, bug-free compared to that. So the buffalo seem to naturally gravitate toward the highways. But we are working with Transportation to look at a number of options because it is very potentially dangerous to have them on the road. Thank you.
