Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I wanted to get back to Mr. Olson. He's been giving me some great quotes. One was that it's un-Canadian not to respect different cultures. Here in Canada, hunting and trapping are so important to who we are, and are part of our culture.
You also said that when you hit somebody with a stick, now it's contentious. I think one of the reasons, you know, years ago, that maybe you were feeling a little self-conscious about being a hunter.... I know the government learned its lesson with the wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry and how that affected law abiding hunters and farmers.
I was wondering if you could, please, elaborate a little bit more and describe the cultural significance of licensed hunting and trapping in Canada. You mentioned the importance with aboriginal and first nations people, and you know, it's just a way of life. Could you elaborate just a little bit more about that for us?
