Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be for the Minister of Social Services. Earlier today I commented in my Member's statement about the unexpected decline in the yield of this year's fur harvest. I am concerned that this will leave many of our traditional harvesters in difficult financial conditions. They should not have to turn to the social assistance system to make ends meet. Many of these people are independent and come from self-reliant families and it is difficult for them to seek welfare. I know the Minister of Social Services understands this. What is she doing to ensure there are options to social assistance that can be made available to traditional harvesters whose financial situation has suffered as a result of this year's low fur yield? Mahsi.
