Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we've already identified sources of funding through our budget process that would help us through our biophysical analysis that needs to take place. We also have identified some dollars that we need for the caribou surveys. Mr. Speaker, we have a caribou management plan that has a budget of $8 million that is needed to do a long-term plan, and we will continue to work towards identifying those resources. As part of the International Polar Year that I made a statement on earlier, there are some initiatives that will complement what we're doing. Mr. Speaker, at this point it hasn't been firmed up. Our staff, along with aboriginal governments and other people, are meeting with the federal government and the people from the International Polar Year Committee and they will start looking at the different projects. I wish to assure the Member that caribou is part of the concerns that we've brought forward. Thank you.
