Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask a question of the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment and it relates to the Tourist Deposit Assurance Program and the potential exposure that this program has in relation to caribou tags that have been sold by outfitters. Mr. Speaker, very late in December, well into the sale season for selling sports hunts, the government decided that 750 tags would be the limit. I want to know, Mr. Speaker, up to that time, caribou outfitters had anticipated that more...or they had been told that more tags would be available. Mr. Speaker, I want to know did sport hunting businesses, in good faith, actually end up selling more tags than the government has decided to make available and what is the impact on the Tourism Deposit Assurance Program if those deposits cannot be returned, Mr. Speaker?
