Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's great to be here at the environment committee again.
I am an Alberta MP and I've been a hunter and a fisher my whole life and a former conservation officer in the province of Alberta. I'm proud to say I'm one of the 24,000 members of the Fish and Game Association in Lacombe, Alberta. I work quite a bit with Dave Powell— I'm sure, Mr. Lowry, you know Dave very well—and have a great relationship there as we work together to enhance fishing, hunting, and trapping opportunities, not only for Albertans but for all Canadians.
I would say quickly that while there might not be a direct position, I believe there are several organizations across the west on the Prime Minister's hunting and angling advisory panel.
Mr. Lowry, or Mr. Crabbe, or the gentleman from the Yukon, Mr. Zealand, I'm wondering if you have seen—from having people either directly from your organization or through other organizations that you closely work with—any benefits of that advisory panel.
I'll start with Mr. Crabbe.
