Mr. Speaker, I suspect there would be a great deal of will to continue working with the New Democrats in the House in a minority situation. The NDP has taken a very responsible approach to dealing with the government-sponsored legislation. Where there are changes that make sense, I suspect the ministry would be open to how we could address concerns. Having said that, it does not mean we are looking for NDP amendments. As it has been pointed out, whether it is the official opposition or the Bloc, this is legislation that we brought in today at second reading. We hope it will pass at some point so it can go to committee stage, where I expect there will be a great deal of interest from coast to coast to coast on this legislation. I look forward to the contributions of others and their ideas and thoughts going into it, like the member for Kildonan—St. Paul had regarding an annual report that comes from the minister and how that might be incorporated into the legislation. The sooner we can make the ministry aware of some of those ideas, the better it is. Ultimately, it will go to committee, and there will be representatives from the minister's office there. It will be a wonderful opportunity to get the feedback we are all looking for. If there are chances to make it a healthier and stronger legislation, I am sure the government would act on that.

Madam Speaker, today in the House we have heard the NDP speak about its concerns, also about its concerns with oversight. Are Conservatives also in support of those changes around oversight?

Mr. Speaker, hunters across Canada carry on a proud tradition, and some are worried. I can say from experience that spending time in nature with family and friends is not just good for mental health, it also provides food security to many indigenous families and communities. Can the Minister of Public Safety assure us that the changes in Bill C‑21 will not affect our hunters?
