Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as we speak, I know that the animal rights activists are incredibly worked up about the story that appeared in the Globe and Mail yesterday. The woman who wrote the article
seems totally tuned in with it. She is so tuned in, she knows they have worked overnight getting themselves all worked in Hamburg, Berlin and every other European country about what they should do about saving the wolves. It is a good question to put to these people. If the wolf population is a direct threat to the survival of other species, like the Peary caribou, what would they do about it? I have been telling them that they are hypocrites of the first order. Most of these people, especially the Europeans, have totally decimated their own wildlife populations. They do not even consider them wild animals they are considered pests. Pests that have to be destroyed at all cost and they have done it. What I have said is, we manage our wildlife and we manage it well. We have done it for thousands of years, and we will continue to do that. I am sure the aboriginal groups involved in discussions today, faced with what methods and approach should be taken to save the Peary caribou, will make proper decisions, good well-balanced decisions in the interests of everyone and everything that is involved. That, I trust, absolutely. I think the Member does as well. Thank you.
