Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In our action plan for this upcoming year and the following years, we've committed that we will do further surveys. The Beverly herd is scheduled to be next on the list. We've just finished the Bathurst herd, Mr. Speaker, and there are a number of actions that we would like to take. We need to get a better handle on the aboriginal harvesting. We need to work with the co-management groups. We have to do more monitoring. We would like to spend more time patrolling. We would like to spend more time looking at ways we can have no-hunting zones and all those things. So there are a number of things we have in the works, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there is some interest through the International Polar Year actions and initiatives that the caribou herd would also be looked at especially in the areas of identifying all the different calving grounds and making sure we had a good handle on where they are. That will be conducted through all of North American, Mr. Speaker, over the next while once we have these things all approved, Mr. Speaker.
