Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Following up on my statement earlier, the main estimate in regards to managing wildlife in the Northwest Territories is no longer the Government of the Northwest Territories. It is the Wildlife Boards which have been established under land claim agreements. For those areas where there are no land claim agreements, they still have the right under National Resources Agreements with Ottawa to ensure their fundamental rights are there.

Mr. Speaker, I also want to follow up on questions from my colleague Mr. Menicoche. He mentioned certain sections. Is there a specific section that you can provide to this House on exactly how the decisions were made and under one section, made reference to an amendment or basically Order-in-Council which was passed in 1960. It does talk about certain species in that act in regards to the barren-ground caribou, muskox, polar bear, wood

buffalo, but yet, Mr. Speaker, the question has to be asked. If that is the Order-in-Council you are following, why is it that this government has been licensing outfitters and allowing major mining development to take place in this herd’s habitat and do nothing about it? Thank you.
