I think the undertaking of projects and programs that generate real, measurable environmental results that Canadians can see and understand is very important, so I strongly support this particular direction.
I'd like to focus a little bit on the unsung heroes of conservation who simply do not get their due. They are getting their due with our government, but they haven't in the past. I'm talking about hunters and anglers and farmers and trappers, the people on the land, the kind of people I represent. These are the heroes of conservation, in my view. Whether they're planting trees, restoring wildlife, putting up nest tunnels for ducks, or all those kinds of things, they never get the due they deserve.
As you well know, Minister, our government created the hunting and angling advisory panel, where all of these groups are represented under one roof in providing advice to our government. Can you elaborate on the activities of the hunting and angling advisory panel, and where you see it going in the not-too-distant future?
