Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I asked the Minister responsible for MACA a question concerning the hunting bans along Ingraham Trail. The Minister had advised me, through his reply, that it was not only a hunting ban, it was a total ban on all discharge of firearms. That included shotguns. This ban applies to the 77 kilometres of highway that people would traditionally hunt along for small game, grouse, rabbits and muskrats, food for the table. A total ban on firearms is going to affect these people who use this for local harvesting. I would like to know how his department would have arrived at such a decision that would affect, what would be considered by many, the traditional right to hunt small game.
