Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to recognize the concern from the Member from Frame Lake. I truly feel his concern for the caribou, but I'm quite satisfied with the department's allocation of funds, having participated in the SSI bilateral meetings last year, and I understand there's one coming up here again. I know caribou conservation and preservation and range planning is all on the agenda, so I'm satisfied with where that agenda and that discussion are going. For those reasons, I support the department's initiative towards caribou conservation and recovery and range planning. I know there's been quite an invested interest in the cost of the surveys, in the neighbourhood of $6 million, so recognizing that commitment along with the department's allocation of funds, the continuation of that dialogue, I thank the department for putting up with a lot of the statements I've heard from some of the community leaders far exceeding what really is actually happening out there. Some of us don't even go out there, including myself, very seldom. Like the Minister said, we take the traditional knowledge point of view at heart there, and those are the meaningful dialogue that's going on. Cutting it short, I'm satisfied. Thank you.
