Mr. Speaker, the process, as the Member is well aware, the Wildlife Act, as I stated earlier, has outlived a number of Assemblies. I believe it was the 14th Assembly that

we started the initial work, as some of us have been around that long, to try to update the Wildlife Act; the 15

th.

Assembly. We are now in the 16th Assembly and if we waited for that process, there’s no guarantee that there will be a satisfactory response. Maybe this Assembly might send it back for some other work. Meanwhile, as the Minister responsible for Environment and Natural Resources, on the counts and the estimated harvest that happens on an annual basis, we could be faced with a situation that was faced with back in the ‘50s in the Beaufort-Delta when there was no caribou and the federal government had to bring reindeer herds in and that’s what people had to survive on. While we have the authorities, we see the numbers, we need to work with our partners. The Minister has been working to try to bring this to a satisfactory conclusion. We know we need to do that, and we continue to work on that basis. Thank you.
