I thank the Minister for that. Again, I think, given the fact that barren-ground caribou outfitting in the Northwest Territories is a multi-million dollar industry and provided a lot of spin-off business in our Territory -- hotels, taxis, restaurants, things like that -- I think the government… And I appreciate the efforts that the government has put into the Tourism Diversification Marketing Program that they’ve got but, Mr. Chairman, it falls short of what is really needed. I think what we need to do as a government is find a way to bridge that gap, whether it’s a year, two years, three years, four years, who knows how long it’s going to take for the caribou numbers to come back.
But one thing is for certain, Mr. Chairman, we had an industry last year and we don’t have one now. We have to ensure that it has the ability, when those numbers come back, to thrive again and to get right back into doing what they were doing before the caribou numbers crashed.
Again, I think we have to try to bridge that gap and the pain that our barren-ground caribou outfitting industry is experiencing. What shape or form that takes is yet to be determined, but we have to start working on that, Mr. Chairman, otherwise when the caribou numbers do come back, we’re not going to have an industry and that would be a shame.
