We are very aware of our priorities and what is important. It’s the caribou. We know very clearly what the numbers tell us. The Member knows that. We have done a full documentation. We’ve laid out all the work we have. We’ve worked collaboratively with all the co-management boards across the land including in this part of the country. We’ve involved communities and hunters when we’ve done our counts and census. The issues tell us that the caribou here are in trouble. This Bathurst herd is rocketing its way to extinction unless we take some interim emergency measures to get us through this hunting season to allow that broader process to engage fully the Wekeezhii board, the Metis and all the other appropriate stakeholders to help with a longer term management plan. Thank you.
