Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the issue of wildlife legislation is a critical one and, yes, it's taken a long time. In the 10 months or nine months I've been here, I believe we've moved the yard markers here, and I'm still confident we're going to have yet a critical first piece of a species at risk legislation ready for the House to be passed before we conclude our business as an Assembly. Once that's accomplished, then we can move on to the Wildlife Act.

The main stumbling block was, as far as I'm aware, was the issue of whose hand would be on the pen and how would the drafting be done. The work that was done on the Species at Risk Act has not been really debated excessively. There's been, pretty well, consensus on the actual work. It was process issues that tied us up. There's been lots of good work done on the Wildlife Act, as well. Consultation over the years, we resolved, we believe the process issues of how the act will be drafted, the Species at Risk Act, and now we're moving to get the work done. So I'm confident, as Minister, that we're going to be able to come forward with that piece of legislation during the life of this Assembly. Thank you.
