Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the deputy minister there. That is certainly substantial progress going from predominantly cows to less than 65 percent or less than 35 percent, I suppose that would be cows, 40 or 35 percent. That is certainly progress and I would certainly support the department in working on further progress on that front. I know it’s difficult. I mean, there are some cultural considerations and practices here, so it’s a tough situation, but I think the deputy minister is right. Without backing off on a cow harvest, the potential for recovery will be much reduced. I appreciate those efforts.
The other thing I wanted to bring up is the caribou herds of the east. I believe it’s currently going under the designation of Beverly-Ahiak, and has, I think, recently been approved for a harvest of one by those without Aboriginal treaty rights. While that’s progress, it’s almost ludicrous to come up with one tag at a distant and remote site like that. So far I’ve only found two hunters that are going to have the means to get over there, so again, it’s practically, in a practical sense, shutting out those without Aboriginal treaty rights again, despite there being a harvestable surplus. Why did the Minister restrict this harvest opportunity – let’s call it an opportunity even though it clearly isn’t for 99 percent of our hunters – to one animal?
