Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The whole area of the selection process, the amount of lands that are either under protected areas or set aside in the parks, are all part of the negotiation process right now, so I would be uncomfortable in putting out an actual position. Although there’s been much work done between the departments that are involved, the Dehcho First Nations and the federal government, on coming up with positions. There was much talk about, for example, on the Nahanni Park extension and expansion and, in fact, as we looked at it and discussed with the people at the table, we have more in common than we have uncommon in the sense of where we’re looking at trying to set up areas for protection. That work is ongoing and we will continue to be at those tables to try and secure a balanced approach. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
