(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Renewable Resources. I have concern over the shameful incident which occurred outside Coppermine with the armed forces, operation Noridic Reliant. It does not give me much confidence in the Canadian Armed Forces' ability to protect me if they are not even capable of researching the regulations and policies established in the area where they are conducting their activities. I am concerned that in court they tried to claim that it was not their responsibility to find out what the hunting and firearm regulations were and that they should have been told about it by Renewable Resources officers. Perhaps the Minister could clarify this for me. Is it the responsibility of his department to ensure that each and every hunter knows the hunting regulations, or is it the responsibility of the hunter to do his or her homework before harvesting our northern wildlife?
