On a point of order, Mr. Chair, it is clear that Mr. Calkins is aware of what happens when you shoot something with 10,000 joules. You obliterate the animal. You know that belugas and narwhals are hunted using regular hunting firearms, not 10,000-joule things, and with bowhead whales we usually see explosive devices.
The questions we are asking witnesses here are outside the scope of their expertise. They do not represent the entirety of the Government of Canada.
I would really encourage you, Mr. Chair, to ensure that the questions are focused on the areas of expertise with which these witnesses have presented themselves and have been willing to offer their time.
