Mr. Chairman, when the committee met and discussed the area of traditional harvesters, artists, carvers and other occupations, there were a number of thoughts about what a traditional harvester, artist or carver is. The definition of each varied according to the presentation we received. In fact, the committee itself was divided in the description of what a traditional harvester was, where the definition of a traditional harvester begins, or for an artist or carver, where that definition would come in. We did not want to limit or restrict the Minister in defining what other occupations would be. It becomes difficult to say that this is where we begin to say these people will be covered by the act. If we leave people out, it makes it difficult to administer. Therefore, this recommendation leaves it open at the Minister's discretion.
