Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Justice has said on numerous occasions about the right to gather food as a broad right-not necessarily an aboriginal right but an aboriginal and non-aboriginal right-that these rights will be facilitated.
Let us take the logic of the hon. member to the extreme. He is saying that it is okay for Cree to go there and hunt seal or caribou with an AK-47, with an assault weapon, with a Sherman tank. This defies logic; it is incorrect.
What the Minister of Justice is doing does not break the spirit or intent of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement.
