I listened to you carefully, Mr. Saunders. I have a few practical questions for you.

For example, if someone in Quebec were to be prosecuted under the 1994 Migratory Birds Convention Act, which is a federal law, the Attorney General of Quebec would be the one to initiate proceedings, if this person were to challenge the constitutionality of certain sections. For example, let's say that the person claimed to be an Indian and had hunting rights—I don't have to talk to you about Supreme Court jurisprudence—would you intervene?
