Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate that this is a step in the right direction to actually getting Wildlife Management 101 the possibility of coming into action here. If we don’t know how many animals we’re taking, especially from a limited population, we can get into trouble and that’s exactly what we saw, of course, with our caribou situation today. It has a generational impact, I would say, on people’s culture.

I understand in the act that there are consequences for those without Aboriginal treaty rights if they fail to report their take. Now, it’s sad that this had to be put in regulations because those people have always had to report their take of wildlife and they have done so at an extremely high rate, without any

clubs over the head. I think people, as I mentioned, are very connected to wildlife and want to do the responsible thing. I would say that’s true of all people.

I guess my comment is, if there’s a consequence for one group of people and we are talking about this applying to all groups of people that the Minister requires it of, what are the consequences for all people if they do not conform, since we have consequences stipulated in the act for some?

Thank you.
