I want to ask the question in a different way. I think you've addressed well how this can increase people's awareness and understanding of the importance of hunting and fishing, and get people more involved in hunting and fishing, including new Canadians. I come from a pretty rural riding, and even among the people who live in the big city of 85,000 people there are a lot of hunters and fishers. But Canada is more urban. I grew up in a small town where almost everyone hunted and fished, but I didn't. I don't have the patience for fishing. What about those who probably will never hunt, probably will never fish? How can this still be important to them? What I think about is how important hockey is to this country. There are a lot of people who don't play hockey, yet Hockey Day in Canada isn't a national day but it's still a day in the minds of a lot of people. It's still a big deal for people who don't play hockey and don't even watch hockey. How can this day be important to those who will never hunt or fish?
