Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources.
1. Can the Minister provide to me the GNWT or
Environment and Natural Resources definition of “consultation”?
2. Can the Minister outline the process that
supported his decision to implement a ban on hunting caribou in the area in question?
3. Will the Minister provide an explanation as to
why the caribou are calving two weeks later than the normal period for calving?
4. Can the Minister provide what types of interim
agreements were signed with the Tlicho or Yellowknives Dene communities to implement the ban on hunting caribou?
