This industry can move forward. I believe there are solutions, if we're ready to accept them. I just can't understand why we can't quickly move in those directions.
I think this morning you have laid out for us some very interesting issues. For instance, in Ontario, and I have made this argument many times—this goes to the cervid industry particularly—we harvest 8,000 bears in a year legally. A particular gall bladder is owned by the hunter who bags that particular bear. We do not allow that gall bladder into the marketplace, but we allow poachers—we don't allow, but it happens—into the marketplace, and they supply that market at very high prices.
We could reduce the need for poaching if we allowed those marketable items into the marketplace. They were legally harvested. They're just as legal, just as clean as anything else we do, and yet we don't allow it. We could see real value returned back to the sport—not necessarily to the harvester, but to the sport. I can't get anywhere on that, either.
There are some very commonsense solutions to some of our problems, just as there are to your issue, I believe. I totally support it and am pleased to hear that there's at least some feeling of direction in where we go on this provincial-federal thing. I think we need as quickly as possible to move towards one department of agriculture in Canada.
