numerous agencies that have looked at the science of polar bear management in Canada and other places feel that the limited permits that are issued for this hunting purpose is conducive to conservation efforts and habitat protection up in Canada, especially through the indigenous tribes there that are issued these permits every year. The Canadian letter that I just referenced earlier stated, ``Removal of the sports hunting exemption from the Marine Mammal Protection Act would have no impact,'' no impact, ``on the numbers harvested, but would cause economic hardship to the Canadian northern indigenous communities.'' Again quoting from the letter from Canada, ``Any action such as that proposed in the amendment is premature and should at least await the outcome of the two reviews.''
