Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today is also to the Minister responsible for the health of northerners and also responsible for the health of our caribou herds.

Mr. Speaker, the seven immediate actions that were laid out that are going to be carried out in the next six months by this government I think are quite cumbersome for a lot of northerners and are going to be too costly for both the government and northerners who do harvesting and hunting of caribou. I wanted to just mention to the Minister, you know, if he talks about one of the key components of the whole strategy is to engage our partners in developing this strategy and I want to just mention to the Minister that in one of his news releases, he said they're going to need more consultation with hunters is definitely necessary in order for this thing to work. So I wanted to ask the Minister, you know, why can't we engage these hunters and trappers and get their views on this whole strategy and how we can look at some different immediate actions that would actually work for northerners, harvesters, hunters and trappers and outfitters? You just talked about the international fur prices have gone up recently and the number of wolves has really skyrocketed out on the barren-lands. Instead of throwing seven rules out there for northerners to follow, why can't we just take a step-by-step approach into implementing this whole strategy and do it one step at a time? Say we'll do increasing caribou, decreasing caribou tags from five to three and maybe increasing wolf tags from one to three and see how that works out. Would the Minister consider doing something like that instead of throwing out a whole bunch of rules for hunters and trappers to follow? Thank you.
