Mr. Speaker, that's certainly something that I think we would sit down and consider and talk about. We do have a BDF schedule that seeks to provide raw materials for those who are interested in arts and crafts so that they can purchase caribou hides, but I think to take the Member's point, if there aren't any hides to purchase, that is certainly of not much help. So it's something that we'd be prepared to talk about. I do understand that sometimes the caribou hides come in in not the greatest condition. That's something that we'd have to talk about. But if there's an opportunity and if we've got a proponent interested and they'd like to come forward with a submission, certainly it's something that we would take seriously. I agree with the Member that it is a shame to waste any part of the animal, and where there are value-added opportunities, we want to pursue them. Thank you.
