Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not disputing what is the opinion of the HTA. I am disputing that the HTA, in their own meeting, went through the list of eligible GHL holders and chose which names should be put in the hat. After pulling it out, they had been advised by some jealous hunter that should not be because I was in a meeting in Yellowknife. That was what the dispute was. Why did they change after they informed me my tag had been pulled to come home quickly. Before I could arrive, I was no longer eligible. That is a great expense on my part because I was not eligible for some kind of travel home trip or anything like that. I found it ironic that inconsistency was practised and the wildlife officer did not advise that while they have authority and advisory capacity as an HTA, they also have to be consistent. He did not inform them of the consistency required by the government policies. Thank you.
