Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member raises a good point and, as we indicated to the Member from Nahendeh, we have made a commitment and we recognize that we need a similar strategy with the bison that's going to look not only at individual herds in the Mackenzie, the Nahanni in the South Slave, but a broader strategy that's going to allow us to deal with the common issues. So that is what we have committed to do in the coming fall or summer and fall. It will have, hopefully, the same kind of specific recommendations and will allow us to be able to deal in a more comprehensive way with some of the pressures that communities are facing, like in the Member for Nahendeh's riding, as well as Fort Providence and the concerns raised outside of Yellowknife with the traffic issues and herd numbers and health, quotas and those types of things for hunting. It is an important issue and it's next on our list after this caribou one. Thank you.
