Mr. Speaker, as soon as the caribou numbers go down, the aboriginal people are affected. The aboriginal communities that live in the areas where the caribou roam are already voicing great concern. We have been working with the co-management boards that are in the different jurisdictions where there are settled claims and there has been a number of initiatives that we're looking at. Sahtu co-management group, for example, is looking at a voluntary quota that will be brought forward as recommendation. We're also looking at maybe no-hunting zones at certain times of the year; maybe other things, such as no-hunting areas along ice roads and those things. So there are a number of things that we have on the drawing board, Mr. Speaker. We still have a lot of work to do yet, Mr. Speaker. Thanks.
