Thank you.
Chief Louis, I'd like to continue with you.
I was on the public safety committee a couple of weeks ago, and we heard from a witness representing the Nunavut Association of Municipalities. He was also talking about how hunting was used to really shield a lot of families from the high prices of food, and about that connection to the land. They were talking about the danger that certain elements of Bill C-21 posed to their hunting rifles, which they depend on.
I'm proud to represent a riding out here on Vancouver Island that sits on the traditional territories of many Coast Salish first nations, part of the Nuu-chah-nulth first nation, and the Pacheedaht and Ditidaht first nations.
I guess my final question to you in the time I have left is this. You know, we have a diet here that is very much based on what the ocean provides. If you could just talk about the access to processing capacity.... What can the federal government do more to ensure that first nations have access to those traditional foods, to help them process them and to maybe tackle the problem that many communities are experiencing with these high food prices?
