Well, Mr. Speaker, first of all, caribou are very important, and I don't need anybody to tell me that. I live it. My family lives it. Indigenous governments live it.

I've been talking with Indigenous leadership. We are going to Nunavut this month to talk about caribou.

So I thank the Member for that. But caribou are very important.

To answer his question, the GNWT expects that any regional assessments would include opportunity for meaningful Indigenous and public participation. The GNWT support federal participation funding for our regional strategic environmental assessment if one is held. The funding for the RSEA, includes participation funding, would be a federal responsibility, and we will make sure that we tell the federal government to make sure we put that funding forward. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
