Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank Mr. Mauser and Mr. Grismer for joining us by videoconference and for participating in this meeting of the Standing Senate Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
My first question is for Mr. Grismer.
In your presentation, you briefly mentioned—and that is why I want to go back to that—the courses for people who want to purchase firearms in the country. I find that interesting. I took those courses myself. I am a resident of Quebec and I took them in the Montreal area. We have two separate courses: the firearms safety course and the introduction to hunting course. Since I am in the greater Montreal area, it is easy for me. Many courses are available for those who want to obtain a hunting licence.
However, I know that it's more difficult to have access to those courses in other parts of the country, especially in rural or remote regions. Some First Nations communities are quite isolated. Could you tell me what your opinion is?
Measures, such as the Aboriginal Peoples of Canada Adaptation Regulations, have already been implemented for First Nations. I was wondering whether the proposed courses would go against the rights of First Nations and what the impact would be on rural and remote communities that don't have easy access.
