Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Referring to this letter I mentioned earlier, it says here also that, "All jurisdictions in Canada would apply for a one year suspension of enforcement of the EEC regulations, based on progress that
has been made over the past several years in switching from leghold to humane traps."
I take it that the reason for that is different jurisdictions within Canada that are supposed to comply with these regulations are not in a position to comply at this time, and therefore the best solution is to apply for this one year suspension. I would like to ask the Minister if that's correct. If so, would he explain that to us? Thank you.
