Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have a very, very long history with harvesting and marketing of muskox. We still really believe that it's a very good product, especially the meat and the qiviut. It's just we haven't been able to find a magic formula. Between the Inuvialuit Development Corporation and a number of government departments we probably spent millions of dollars not only on the harvesting side but also in promoting and the marketing side, and it's certainly an area that we want to continue to find a way. I think this year I'd like to see if we can work with the community to revive it.
We've also negotiated with the federal government in the Growing Forward Program some funding for muskox. So I think that, you know, there's still a very significant demand for qiviut products but the supply of qiviut is very, very low. We’re down to buying qiviut from individual hunters which is not the best way to harvest qiviut. So this is something we'd like to look at and see if we can find a better way of developing this area. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
