Mr. Speaker, the whole question of big game hunting on the Mackenzie Highway between Fort Providence and Fort Simpson should not apply to aboriginal people. The Renewable Resource personnel indicated that it is a good regulation but you cannot enforce it on aboriginal people because it is not enforceable. It is based on a court decisions under section 35 of the Constitution. Having a regulation as such does not make any sense to aboriginal people. Perhaps it does make decisions for non-aboriginal people, but it is not enforceable and the regulation may as well not exist. I am asking the Minister whether that is correct?
