Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are a number of species that are out there that are very much endangered. We have to be very mindful of that fact. There are surveys that we do to give us indications of where the species are at. We would like to continue to support hunting in this area. We would like to support ecotourism; we would like to support fishing, but those are all dependent on having a supply of the product. In this case, the caribou are in decline. We have to make some tough decisions. We are also under some extreme pressure from some of the other bodies out there that would like us to see some cutbacks and how the animals are utilized from all users of this group. Thank you.
