Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have been doing a considerable amount of work, which is why we have come forward with the numbers. We have invested a considerable amount of time, money and effort in terms of the collaring, using the satellite imagery to give us the best numbers available. We have spent a lot of time talking to hunters in and around that part of the country to get their feedback, as well, of what they are seeing on the land. We have come forward with what we think are the best numbers; what we are sure are the numbers. We have committed to work with the boards to look at their recommendations. They have asked us to consider doing another census survey next year to corroborate existing numbers. We are going to look very seriously at that. That is about a half a million dollar project to do the three herds. So we are going to look at that as well. Based on the recommendation and advice that we get from the three boards in question, we will look at those recommendations and act accordingly. Thank you.
