Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regards to activity description, one of the issues we seem to be running into is the whole area of monitoring and also the counting of the different population species. I think that a good example is

the caribou. I know the different caribou numbers that we’ve been getting. It has been some time. I will just use the Porcupine Caribou Management Board. The last count they did was back in 2001. I think it is important that we are basing policy decisions on numbers. Those numbers aren’t accurate. I think it does give public concern. I think we have heard that from the outfitters in regards to other species, especially the Barren Ground caribou. I think that we, as government, have to do a better job of compiling that information, but, more importantly, continue to put more emphasis in regards to that research that has been done and ensure that our counts are as accurate or as close to being as accurate as possible. I would just like to ask the Minister exactly what we are going to be doing differently in light of the situation to deal with the different wildlife populations; more importantly, the caribou populations and making sure that before we make any regulatory decisions, that we do have accurate information and invest those dollars for those studies.
