Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess with the caribou crisis looming over us here today, and we have no Species at Risk Act yet, and any caribou herd that gets on the Species at Risk Act gets into the federal government's responsibility. I just want to quote what Chief Jimmy Bruneau said in the 1940s about caribou management discussions with federal officials. He said, "We don't tell you what to do with your cows down south. Don't tell us what to do with our caribou up here." I would just like to keep it that way. I just want to ask the Minister if he can provide any immediate injection of any extra dollars into wildlife management, especially caribou initiatives, here in the NWT over the next few months through a supplementary appropriation. Can he make that commitment for the residents of the NWT? Thank you.
