Mr. Speaker, I recognize that the people of Colville are doing their own count. I am not sure what methods they are using. We have in our historical practice of counting the caribou, we were involved with the Sahtu Resource Management Board. They have been involved in the caribou counts in that area. They share the responsibility in terms of the numbers or the work that was done there. We have tried to use as much as we can from some of the information from the traditional knowledge efforts. We are in the process of working towards having a caribou summit in the new year. We would like to bring in all of the people and start looking at the different numbers. I recognize, of course, that some other jurisdictions are doing their own work and may be contesting our numbers. We've gone out and done accounts twice now and we've also done radio collaring for aerial photos and all the standard practice of counting caribou was used in this case. Thank you.
