Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, I won't. I think if you look at the membership of the planning committee and acknowledge that the good work of these groups -- DIAND, ourselves, Dogrib Treaty 11, Yellowknives Dene, North Slave M‚tis Alliance, Lutselk'e Dene First Nation, Kitikmeot Inuit Association, Kitikmeot Hunters' and Trappers' Association, Nunavut Wildlife Management Board, Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. Mr. Speaker, to suggest that we shelve this plan because we think that the work these folks have done is not valid, I would suggest, would be a slap in the face to those who have management responsibility for caribou.
There have been a number of proposed suggestions should we determine that the herd is, in fact, in decline or is low. It is very important for us to understand and monitor the herd to know if this is just a regular fluctuation over time. I don't think we know that with any certainty, but we are proposing to sit down and speak to other stakeholders who weren't on this committee; that includes outfitters. But for me to throw away the good work that these people have done, I think, would be an insult. Thank you.
