(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Regarding the Economic Development and Tourism budget, I have seen some increases in the budget, but I have often thought, and my constituents have thought about the same thing, so I wanted to bring it up in this Session.

Hunters that hunt for food can utilize the food and they do not get any assistance. Trying to make it through carving, and I think in most of the communities in my constituency do try and make money out of carving, yet, there are a lot of people who do not carve, and they try and get welfare from Social Services. I do not want any of these programs to be cut.

This could greatly help the hunters, if they could start selling their harvest. For that reason, I would like to see more assistance given to the hunters who do not hold any jobs. It is very hard to try and earn a living. If we could start selling our harvest, this would help the hunters.

I have often thought about this, and I wanted to bring this issue, as to how we can, we have to try and have a study. Ever since I became a M.L.A. I have often thought of how I can help them. They have also been talking to me about how I can help my constituents. I have told them that I could try and help them, and try and give them more assistance, more financial assistance, especially to the hunters. If they could start selling their harvest, we have to see if we can get a feasibility study, and we have been told so many times, that we have to try live on our own. I have seen some reports, and we have often discussed those reports. We have often been told that we have to try and start living on our own, and I would be in support if we can start selling the harvest that the hunters obtain. It would greatly help them economically.

This is the comments that I wanted to make to the Department of Economic Development and Tourism. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
