Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess the key word in this is consultation. I know I've been getting a lot of feedback from a lot of hunters and trappers saying that they've never even heard of this strategy. I haven't heard of it and I don't think any of the Members of this House have even seen it mentioned in the business plans or anything, last year or the year before. So I'm not sure where the Minister has been engaging in all this consultation process with all these management boards and everything like that. Just to get back to the question, I want to ask the Minister, can the Minister go through the Internet and get a polling of what the people in the NWT actually think that this strategy is going to do? Maybe develop some ideas into how we can better implement some steps to helping the declining numbers of caribou and having a forum where hunters and trappers can actually have direct input into this whole strategy, because I think a lot of hunters and trappers are being excluded out of the consultation process because they're either out on the land doing hunting and trapping. If we move out on a public education campaign...
