Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you to the Minister for his answer. I just want to know if the Minister is willing to commit his department to developing a strategy which will address the growing number of bison in all the sanctuaries of the NWT, which include five, I believe. Also, outside the community of Deninu Kue where the Hook Lake herd has basically developed into a herd in itself, I guess, by government standards. I'm just curious as to what initiatives the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development is going to undertake to help these communities to develop some kind of sustainable management action plan to work with these herds because as in this budget address the funding for the management of that herd is reduced significantly, by about 30 percent, when actually the herd has probably grown by the same percentage. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
