Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In terms of consultation, then certainly there has to be more consultation. Let me say that the Bathurst management plan that was introduced is the recommendations from the committee which is made up of our government, federal government, Inuit organizations, First Nations people and so on. It doesn't represent, necessarily, the views of each of the organizations that the individuals are from, but it is committee's recommendation. Before our government would take action on this plan, we would want to take into consideration the needs of all and the interests of all the users of that caribou herd. So, Mr. Speaker, that does include the commercial operators, the tourism operators, the non-aboriginal hunters, the aboriginal hunters, and all of the people who are using that herd. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
