This is one of the largest caucuses in Parliament and for good reason.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"874647\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Over 8 million Canadians from coast to coast to coast, urban and rural, of all ages, backgrounds and abilities, and of both sexes, enjoy our parks, boating, canoeing, camping, hunting, fishing and trapping.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"874648\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canadians over the age of 15 who fish outnumber those who play golf and hockey combined. Canadians spend as much on fishing each year as they do on beer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"874649\" data-originallang=\"en\">Their outdoor activity represents a $10 billion boost to the Canadian economy, yet so much that we do could negatively affect the activities of these millions of Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"874650\" data-originallang=\"en\"> That is why I commend the over 80 parliamentarians who make up our outdoor caucus for their hard work to ensure that all Canadians can continue to enjoy our national heritage, the great outdoors.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"874651\" data-originallang=\"en\">On a sadder note, I would like to express my sympathy and that of my colleagues to the people of the Yellow Quill First Nation community in Saskatchewan on the tragic deaths of three year old Kaydance Pauchay and her one year old sister Santana. We share their sorrow.</p>",

Il s'agit de l'un des plus gros caucus du Parlement et la raison est simple. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"874647\" data-originallang=\"en\">Plus de 8 millions de Canadiens de partout, des zones urbaines comme des r\u00e9gions rurales, des Canadiens des deux sexes, de tous \u00e2ges et qui ont diff\u00e9rents ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents et comp\u00e9tences, profitent de nos parcs et s'adonnent \u00e0 la navigation de plaisance, au canot, au camping, \u00e0 la chasse, \u00e0 la p\u00eache et au pi\u00e9geage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"874648\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le nombre de Canadiens \u00e2g\u00e9s de plus de 15 ans qui p\u00eachent d\u00e9passent le nombre de ceux qui jouent au golf et au hockey mis ensemble. Chaque ann\u00e9e, les Canadiens d\u00e9pensent autant pour pratiquer la p\u00eache que pour s'acheter de la bi\u00e8re.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"874649\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ces activit\u00e9s de plein air injectent 10 milliards de dollars dans l'\u00e9conomie canadienne. Pourtant, beaucoup de nos gestes pourraient compromettre les activit\u00e9s de ces millions de Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"874650\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je remercie donc les 80 parlementaires et plus qui composent notre caucus des amants du plein air de leur travail acharn\u00e9 pour que les Canadiens puissent continuer \u00e0 profiter de leur patrimoine national, la nature.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"874651\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sur une note plus triste, j'aimerais offrir mes condol\u00e9ances et celles de mes coll\u00e8gues aux membres de la collectivit\u00e9 de la Premi\u00e8re nation de Yellow Quill, en Saskatchewan, \u00e0 la suite de la mort tragique de Kaydance Pauchay, trois ans, et de sa soeur Santana, \u00e2g\u00e9e d'un an. Nous partageons leur chagrin.</p>"
