Mr. Speaker, I am still not clear on the powers that he does have to limit aboriginal subsistence hunting. He references an Order-in-Council from 1960 which also references muskox, polar bear and woodland bison which we do hunt, Mr. Speaker, so how can he pick one over the other? I think the case has to be made that the process in his decision-making is about protecting extinct animals, threatened species or endangered species, but he has never given the case to this House or anybody that that is what he is doing. He is only saying low numbers, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister on what legal basis is he making this decision. Thank you.
