Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Also related to the bulls-only harvest restriction for non-aboriginal hunters is a concern that I've heard expressed is that, especially at this time of year, Mr. Speaker, it's very difficult to tell, under the kind of conditions that we hunt, the difference between bulls and cows. But I also understand, Mr. Speaker, that there are penalties and they can be quite severe if a hunter is convicted of killing a cow, whether or not by accident. I was wondering whether, in applying this restriction, has ENR considered the potential for mistakes to be made? Have they considered the consequences that it may have in the case of mistakes and accidents that it may have for a hunter, and whether or not this could potentially result in even wasted meat as hunters decide to shut down their hunt and not report this kind of thing, even though it may be an accident, Mr. Speaker?
