Mr. Chairman, at the last meeting, I undertook to table some documents. You will recall that some hunters in my riding, on the North Shore, wanted a hunting licence for recreational seal hunting. They took the firearms handling and seal hunting courses, but the department unfortunately does not want to give them the licence because of a moratorium. They want the department to give them a recreational seal hunting licence and a contract for two or three seals per year. I told you I had written to the minister and received a reply.
For the benefit of all committee members, given that fact that seals are part of our work, allow me to table with the clerk the letter I wrote to the minister and his reply. I took the trouble of having my letter translated into English.
