Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have committed to work with all the aboriginal groups that are affected by the issue of caribou reduction. We are required and bound by land claims agreements. In some areas case law also applies. Mr. Speaker, we have committed to working with aboriginal groups and have already embarked on that process and will continue to do so. That will include some of the aboriginal governments that do not have a settled claim. We've already heard from the Akaitcho government on their position regarding the issue of caribou. We've heard from other communities, such as Fort Smith, where some of the members from the Metis Nation and the Dene have come to our meetings and given us some advice. So, Mr. Speaker, we're pledging to work with everybody. It's a big issue across the Territories, but we'll continue to keep the communication lines open. Thank you.
