Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to thank Mr. Braden and Mr. Pokiak for bringing this motion forward. There was a lot of work that went into the final product here. We appreciate all the work that you gentlemen have put into this.
Mr. Speaker, I looked at the caribou and I looked at them as an elder, one that has cared for us over the years, provided for us and looked after us, and then the day comes when it is our turn to care for the elders. That time, Mr. Speaker, is now. We have to do what we can to protect the caribou. We have to do what we can to make sure that there is some caribou left for future generations. Mr. Speaker, you have heard many reasons today why some of my colleagues support the motion and they are all good, valid reasons, but we really have to have a close look here and make sure that the caribou are protected and we are in a position now to protect it. I have been a subsistence hunter for half of my life probably and I have always been told that you just take what you can use. There was an old ad on TV years ago, I think put out by Renewable Resources that was take what you can use and use what you take. That was always a very true message. I told the story of an elder that was picking up caribou guts on the side of the road. Mr. Speaker, there was a lot of wisdom in what he was doing. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the guys that brought the motion forward. I will be fully supporting this motion. Thank you.
