Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as time goes on there are less and less people in the Northwest Territories; it's a bit of a dying art, the traditional tanning of caribou hides. It's something extremely labour intensive and it's also something that not a lot of people know how to do anymore. Under the program whereby harvesters bring furs to the Northwest Territories which then go to auction in southern Canada, there's a lot of support for that. Is there any chance that caribou hides could be treated in a similar manner if we don't have a processing facility here right away, something that might be implemented in a more timely basis would be to collect these hides from harvesters and actually have them processed at a southern operation for now? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
