Bromley. A motion is on the floor. The motion is in order. The motion has been distributed. To the motion. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As I

mentioned during my general remarks, one thing we did hear while we were on the road was a desire to recognize that habitat, including the good health and well-being of all species is fundamental to the benefit of other species. From that standpoint, there were questions about why fish and migratory birds were not included, and this particularly applies to migratory birds that have been part of our species of concern in the past where we did have jurisdiction. They were dropped at some point in the past and there has long been a desire to get them back on our list of species that we can participate in the management of, as do all other jurisdictions in Canada, with the possible exception of Nunavut. So the intent behind this motion is to right that wrong for migratory birds. We have never had it for fish and hopefully over the process of devolution, and so on, we can get that, because these species are major parts of the diet of our people, so it is really...This motion recognizes the input in this situation and I will be voting for it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr.

Bromley. To the motion.
