Mr. Speaker, I think our government spends roughly around $600,000 a year on issues surrounding caribou. One herd to be surveyed is about $250,000 to $300,000, Mr. Speaker. There are other issues that we look at. There are other ways that we monitor caribou herds: calf survival rates; calf birthrates; we look at wolf dens. All those things have to be part of the assessment and that costs money, Mr. Speaker. There are a number of other herds out there. I'm not sure if the Member wants us to start surveying the Qamanirjuaq herd, the Wager Bay herd, the Lorillard herd. Those herds are really outside of our jurisdiction and don't venture into this part of the Territories. Mr. Speaker, if we could survey all the herds across North America, that
would be the best angle to take, but we can only work with what the resources allow us to do. Thank you.
