The problem with this amendment is that it completely eliminates other Canadians who have traditional knowledge. I have said over and over in this committee that rural people, farmers, ranchers, loggers, trappers, and so on have a wealth of knowledge about the natural world, but they're always excluded from these kinds of things, especially by the Liberals.
I think what this does is exclude the knowledge that people like my constituents would have—the trappers, farmers, ranchers—from even being considered as part of this particular bill.
I can count as well as the next person, and I know where this is going to go, but I want to get that note on the record.
Thank you.
