Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member is correct; there has never been a territorial gathering to discuss the broad issue of caribou and all the various herds and all the issues that are at play here. The intent is to do that in the coming months, once all the census work and survey work is in. We have to look at what the numbers tell us. We have to try and factor in the hunting, the predation, the climate change, the development issues, and it's a very complex issue. In the meantime, we can't sit here in a vacuum. We have taken steps with the information that is available. We have put together a plan very clearly. Once we have a major gathering, that will, to a large degree, inform the next steps and further decisions that have to be made to adequately manage this wildlife that we're looking at, caribou. Thank you.
