Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I intend to introduce to the House the new Wildlife Conservation Act. This act will replace the current Wildlife Act, which is now more than 13 years old. This new act will do four things: 1) It provides a framework that can be used to incorporate future changes more quickly and easily; 2) It recognizes and puts into law the provisions of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement, which was signed in 1984, in a separate part of the act; 3) It removes or alters provisions from the Wildlife Act which were in contravention of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms; 4) It makes minor changes which, although they do not affect the meaning or intent of the legislation, make the wording consistent with other territorial statutes, and will aid translation. Mr. Speaker, I ask the House to support this new act. Thank you.
