Mr. Chair, the members opposite make a great show of being supporters of environmental groups, but one of the most significant environmental communities in our country that they never talk about or support is Canada's millions of hunters and anglers who are the true conservationists in the country. They deliver on the ground programs and projects through local clubs and deliver real environmental results. In fact, this is one conservation group that actually asks to pay tax.
In the minister's department there is a section called Wildlife Habitat Canada, which is funded by the hunting licences that we migratory bird hunters have to buy. I am a very strong supporter of this agency.
Could the minister or the parliamentary secretary make a few comments on the great work that the dollars from hunters and anglers do to support conservation in their department?
