Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here today.
I am pleased to see all sorts of people speak about hunting, fishing and conservation. I think conservation is a priority for us. The national conservation plan is being studied. Of course, we talk all the time about the importance of investment and research in helping us make the right decisions when we take action, whether financially or in support of science, for instance.
Mr. Boyce, in terms of conservation and maintaining hunting and trapping activities, are the investments and research in science sufficient? Of course, there is always room for improvement, but what could we improve at the federal level?
