I just want to make a comment, Madam Chair, on the whole review process because I know that in my area that we have a reserve and because we have a reserve, members of the Salt River First Nation have to follow the Wildlife Act but there's no enforcement on reserve. And so I don't know when that's ever going to happen. So, you know, ENR most of the times -- I mean, 99 percent of ENR do the job that a lot of the things that we -- but this was kind of forced down on us. I remember being part of the Akaitcho territory at the time and this whole Wildlife Act was kind of forced down our throats and we -- there was not a lot of consultation and there was a lot of -- there was a lot of -- sometimes the reviews do have to take place because it's still not -- it's still not serving the people of the Salt River First Nation with -- because there's no enforcement -- enforcement by -- on reserve, but they expect all those members to follow the Wildlife Act. So if a poacher -- poachers go on reserve there's no consequences. So anybody could do whatever they want and that's not -- that's not the way it's supposed to be. Thank you, Madam Chair.
