Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I too have a concern, especially with the way we are managing our forests. I feel there are certain obligations already in place. Maybe it is spelled out in different types of legislation, especially when you talk about forest products.
There has to be more emphasis placed with the harvesters on the effects of logging and what not on aboriginal harvesters, especially when you are talking about people's trapping and hunting occupations, where it will have an effect on them down the road, but without consultation with the local renewable resource councils or HTAs.
Knowing there will be an impact, regardless of whether it is minute or large, there has to be that consultation. I think this government has to do that. I would like to ask the Minister how they are consulting with the affected harvesters, especially in the area of the Hunters' and Trappers Association?
