Rob Bishop: “There was no local involvement, no consultation with those who would be impacted by the decision.”

Is the gentleman sure he really wants the Federal Government having a forest in his place?

I think many of those local fisheries on the coast would have some quibbling with your jurisdictional approach.

Thank you. I appreciate it, sir.

Twenty years from now, come back here, and we will tell the gentleman we told him so. Madam Speaker, I have no objections to the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
