Mr. Speaker, the answer is no.
I am pleased the hon. member raised the issue of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement, because we were rather proud of that. It was the former Prime Minister Trudeau and the present Prime Minister, who had this job at the time, who actually implemented the James Bay and Hudson Bay and northern Quebec agreement. It is part of our culture, part of our policy, part of our tradition.
I am really pleased that the hon. member has now taken up the issue of treaty rights. I hope I see that in the future when we bring forth these things, and not not what I hear outside of the House with the Reform saying let's get rid of treaty rights, let's not have any more treaty process.
The James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement talks about fishing and hunting rights. The bill of the Minister of Justice talks about guns and regulation. They are two distinct things. There are rights under treaty to hunt and fish. To take the logic of the Reform, he is saying that the Cree can go out and hunt with a Sherman tank and the Government of Canada would have no
recourse. We are talking about gun registration, not rights of hunting and fishing.
Maybe I should not be so pleased. Perhaps it is just a sign of desperation of how far the Reform Party has gone in trying to save what is now a losing position.
