Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Obviously the management of big game outfitting in our territory is governed by the provisions of the Wildlife Act and the wildlife business regulations. Licenses are issued; I believe they are typically issued for 10 years. They can be cancelled if there are no activities for a couple of years or if there are major concerns with the individual outfitter that have been raised. Upon investigation if we find them to be in violation of the acts, then we are able to do that, and typically those concerns are raised by regional people, by regional organizations who have been working with and have firsthand knowledge of potential infractions. So any time there is a licence up for renewal, we would certainly sit down, and our regional staff would consult with regional organizations to better understand any concerns, if there are any, with an individual outfitter. Thank you.
