First, we have a mentorship program. We ask experienced hunters to assist young people, through online discussions, for example. After those discussions, there might be meetings. We have a comprehensive mentorship program to help young people learn how to hunt. That is really important. Right now, most hunters in Quebec are over 45 years old. The loss of revenue because of the decline in the sales of permits, hunting and fishing gear will be very high if no one takes their place. The next generation is so important.
We are working with modern digital tools. We have created the Zone Chasse app. Any smart phone with a GPS system will tell you where you are in the province, regardless of the place, what species you can hunt, where and when you can do so, as well as the laws that apply to the species. You can hunt in a controlled harvesting zone, in a wildlife refuge or in a private hunting area. We have set up all those elements to help young people.
The same is true with the website allonspêcher.com, which shows you where the boat and canoe launches are, which lakes are accessible, which types of fish you can catch, the best bait you can use, and so on. Those are all modern tools accessible on Android, tablets and smart phones to help people understand what hunting and fishing are. It is an important part of our strategy to raise awareness. Those tools have been well received by the public.
