Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Members of the European Parliament, like MLAs in this Legislative Assembly, try to listen to all viewpoints and make their decisions, based on the best information available.

As I said earlier, 85 per cent of our wild fur trade is with Europe. We can not sit back and let animal welfare advocates in Europe influence their politicians so that we may face a ban on wild fur products, like what happened to seal products in the early 1980s.
