Mr. Speaker, that may be the most common sense way to approach the issue. It may very well be the way to address that question and should be made clear. In any case, the right to hunt is seen by all people across this country as the most basic right, the most elementary right that we have as aboriginal people regardless of whether we are on welfare or we make in excess of $100,000 a year. That right should not be interfered with by any laws. That was basically what the Sparrow case had laid out in the Supreme Court. We will be looking seriously at that question when we're reviewing the present regimes of the firearms legislation and more specifically at the proposed new firearms legislation. Thank you.
