Thank you, Mr. Bevington.
We're certainly not in any way suggesting that climate change isn't a major factor here. It is. We are seeing changes. We don't know what the long-term effects of those changes will be. We're monitoring that, but we're not yet in a position to be able to say what they will be. There are lots of changes. You talked about the raining and freezing we're seeing in some years, and in the far north, that's a problem particularly for Peary caribou and Dolphin and Union caribou, because they're not able to get at their food. That's happened several times in the past. It looks as though it may happen more frequently, and that's an issue. Certainly bug harassment has always been an issue for barren-ground caribou and that's one of the reasons their behaviour is the way it is when they do their migrations.
It has been suggested that in some areas, bug harassment may increase and may cause problems. So it's something we're aware of and we're monitoring, but at this point it's not really clear-cut what those changes are going to be. I think some will be negative. Some will possibly be positive, but certainly there is change.
