Mr. Speaker, I have a Return to Written Question 42-15, asked by Mr. Braden on February 12, 2007, to the Honourable Michael McLeod, Minister of Environment and Natural Resources, regarding caribou management actions.
As of last Friday afternoon, Caribou Pass Outfitters Limited, Qaivvik Limited and Bathurst Inlet Developments (1984) Limited filed an application for judicial review in the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories regarding the Government of the Northwest Territories' reduction of big game hunting tags for barren-ground caribou for 2007. Since an application for a judicial review has been filed, it would be inappropriate to comment on these issues at this time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
