Thank you, Madam Chair. If the Member will give me a few minutes I can give him an update on the work that we've done in the past with the Peary herd. I'll just need a couple of minutes to get that detail. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. My notes indicate that in terms of the Peary herd we think their numbers have been increasing on Banks Island. We don't have good data, I would say, on Victoria Island and the western high arctic. We know that they've been nationally classified by COSEWIC as endangered, but, most importantly, I think, in terms of management we have drafted an NWT recovery strategy. Consultation is underway on listing the Peary herd as endangered under the Species at Risk Act. Obviously once listed, a national recovery strategy is required. So there's federal species at risk legislation. Our legislation, when we bring it in, will dovetail into that, but at this point we are dealing with the federal regime. Thank you, Madam Chair.
