Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with these major projects we are looking at in regard to pipelines, hydro developments and other mega projects, I think the door has been swung wide open in regard to all of these initiatives. I feel it is critical that we get the support of the people whose lifestyles depend on the harvesting activities that take place and ensure the protection of the food sources and of the environment.

When will we speak to the ground roots people on this issue? Not the political leaders, but people who live in our communities who depend on the wildlife as their traditional food source.
