Mr. Speaker, definitely our government will have to respond to the recommendations from this team who was put together to look at the Bathurst herd. So we will be doing that. In doing that, we will be consulting with parties who are not part of the team that was studying the herd. That includes the hunters and those who have commercial operations for tourism. Mr. Speaker, in looking at this plan, the plan does acknowledge that it is very complex because the Bathurst herd doesn't have an area that is exclusively occupied by them. There are other herds that get mixed in with them from the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq Caribou herd. There are other herds. There are more herds that mix together. We will have to look at this very carefully. Mr. Speaker, I can assure that what we will do is be responsible to all users. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
