Maybe I am giving people too much credit, but I wouldn't think that there is a big enough drive for this. There must be other factors (like Daradon said, publicity).
What's next? The United States starting a man hunt for Elvis? I bet there are more people who believe in Elvis than Bigfoot. I think some common sense needs to be exercised badly. I know the minority needs a voice, but come on, it's not like someone rights are being violated or anything of significance needs to be done. Wasting time and money trying to pass a bill about a mythical animal is completely idiotic.

Well it's actually supposed to live in Northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba from what I hear...
I love how everyone complains about the time and money taken to hear this crackpot out. Perhaps the MP has spent more time and more money opening up letters from the guy, and figures this would be a good way to get him off his ass? Also, it's likely a 5 minute discussion, not a lengthy debate. Spend the 5 minutes, talk about it, the guy shuts up so the MP can focus on more pressing matters.
