Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, this has been an issue that has been raised quite extensively. There are a couple of components to it. One is safety and the other is conservation. As we know from our situation with caribou, we’re faced with the need to stipulate male or female caribou when harvesters are out, be they Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal, so everybody needs that. So this has conservation implications as well as safety implications. It goes, obviously, well beyond the normal course of things dealt with in land claims.

I guess my question would be: Why do we need an exemption in the regulations here when, obviously, everybody should have an approved harvester training course or the equivalent. I like the idea of mentoring, for example. That’s a typical approach within Aboriginal cultures that I very much respect, and in some other cultures. So why do we need to have exemptions here? Thank you.
