Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the work we are proceeding with was done as a result, as I've indicated numerous times in the House, after extensive consultation with the co-management boards and a number of other stakeholders like the Yellowknives, the Northwest Territory Metis, the barren-land outfitters, and we've done a lot of careful work and we are going to proceed. I'd just like to point out that, as we speak, there's a major Bathurst caribou workshop taking place here at the Explorer Hotel for over the next three days. We've brought together an extensive number of people and organizations to look at, in particular, the Bathurst herd. We have DIAND officials, GNWT officials, the Government of Nunavut, the Tlicho Government, Yellowknives, the North Slave Metis Alliance, the Kitikmeot hunters, Nunavut Tunngavik, Nunavut Wildlife management, Kitikmeot Inuit, the Lutselk'e Dene First Nations. We have a number of environmental groups and Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency, Environmental Monitoring Advisory Board, the Barren-Ground Outfitters Association, NWT Metis Nation, the Dehcho First Nations, the Akaitcho Territory Government, the Nunavut Planning Commission, the Wekweezhii Renewable Resources Board, Land and Water Board, as well as the land protection department, and the Mackenzie Valley Land Impact Review Board. They have a very full three days laid out to look at the issue of caribou in this part of the country and I look forward to their feedback. Thank you.
