Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the companies that provide these services for commercial caribou hunting operate in different set-ups and the attitude is different in all of the outfitters out there. There are a number of outfitters that have been working very closely with our numbers and have taken it to heart that there is a serious concern with caribou herds and have reduced their numbers accordingly. There are also outfitters that are still resenting the information that we provide as that they are not real numbers and they continue to sell as many tags as they can and wanting to go out there and continue the way they have done business historically. I can't tell the Member why that is. There are some outfitters that have taken different positions. I believe it is just a model and the way they do business. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
