Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we've been engaged for some time in doing census on the barren land caribou, if I can

use that as a specific example. We did some collaring and tracking and we got those numbers. We, as well, have been working with harvesters to get their first-hand accounts of what they're seeing on the land, the condition of the caribou, the number of calves, the issue of predators and those type of matters. As well, we've got an investment to, in fact, redo the census numbers on this herd that we just did, as well as update the information we do have on herds that are somewhat out of date, to confirm the numbers so that we can make the best possible decisions. We've been working collaboratively now for the last five, six months with the various co-management boards up and down the valley where there are land claims settled. As well, we will be soon working with the Wekwegi board, which is now in place and operational, to look at those specific issues in this part of the country. We're working with the outfitters and the other user groups -- Akaitcho and the Metis -- on the caribou issue to make the best informed decisions that we can. Thank you.
