Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there is a process that we have to follow when we determine what the allocations for quotas are going to be. The Minister-of-the-day had indicated to this House very clearly that there was a concern regarding caribou numbers February of last year and was indicated at that time that we'd have to do some reductions. We communicated this information on a number of occasions throughout the year to the caribou outfitters, and we also conducted another survey because the numbers at that time were contested. We brought those numbers forward, analyzed them, and brought it to Cabinet. During that process, we also indicated to the Members of this House, during the committee process, that there was a concern. We didn't have an actual allocation and quota set up then, but we didn't have the opportunity to present it to Cabinet at that point. So we would have provided that information. I'm not sure if we would have gone out specifically to send it to each individual Member, but it was something that we had to do on a sense of urgency basis, so that's the process we followed, Mr. Speaker.
