I'm glad that after nearly 20 years of debate in Congress on trespass cultivation, we're finally moving toward a long-term solution.

Enacting these bills would indeed undermine the successful recovery of these species and the rule of law.

The gray wolves are more popular than some of the politicians that want to delist them.

I thank the Chair for including the TOXIC Act in today's hearing, as well as Mr. LaMalfa for partnering with me to introduce the bill.

It is beyond ironic that Rep. Boebert is working to undermine the will of Colorado voters to bring back wolves to the state.

The obligation, the trust responsibility, every stakeholder should be at the table.

Each Federal agency, no matter the nature of the relations with tribal government, is included in the U.S. trust and treaty obligations to Indian Country in terms of tribal consultation.

The sheer hubris of these bills is impressive.

What happened then? Well, Idaho authorized the killing of 90 percent of their 1,500 wolves.

These bills would legislatively delist the species we are talking about--the gray wolf and grizzly bear.

These bills ignore science, rather than trust it.

Congress has no business listing or delisting species.
