Thanks.
Yes, that took 48 hours, and I think that sends a very strong signal out to the sustainable-use community about our government's stand on behalf of the sustainable-use community.
I'm certain my time is coming close to an end, but I would be remiss if I didn't put on the record a couple of quotes by two NDP members of Parliament.
On October 27, 2014, Jean Crowder, the New Democrat MP for Nanaimo—Cowichan said she supported legislation in which animals would be considered as people and not just property. Françoise Boivin, New Democratic MP for Gatineau, Quebec, the same day, made the point that animals should be treated with “the same protection that we afford to children and people with mental or physical disabilities.”
To me this opens the door to an animal rights agenda if they ever had their way.
Ms. Daigneault, can you perhaps comment on these two comments that are in Hansard?
