Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Clearly, when you make rule changes there is going to be a transition period, but, once again, clearly the person whose finger is on the trigger is going to have to be sure and be responsible for the animal that he or she decides to shoot. If they have trouble distinguishing between a bull and a cow, then I would suggest they have to take the appropriate measures for certainty before they pull the trigger. Will there be mistaken identities? Possibly. I understand, for the most part, the bulls and cows are not necessarily together and that there's a clear ability to distinguish them, to do an equipment check or look at the antlers, those type of things, and make the decision. So the person who's pulling the trigger will be ultimately responsible, so they better be sure.
