Mr. Speaker, since the regulation was established in 1988, it has been sufficient to give warnings to the hunters when the hunting corridor comes in effect, usually on November 1. It seems that when the hunters are warned they do not break the law. We have been working successfully with the hunters, so that they will observe the regulations and the law that governs hunting. It is not to our advantage to charge everybody that we see. We leave that decision to the discretion of the officer who, at the time, sees the event that is taking place. Myself, the deputy minister and A.D.M. do not give directions to the officers to charge or not charge. That is up to the officers. Thank you.
