Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is correct. Last fall, when the trapping season opened, we were short of traps for all trappers. Even though we had ordered them, we were only able to get a certain amount which was not enough. We called manufacturers to see if we could get some more. They were not able to keep up to the level of demand that the people of Northwest Territories were demanding. We have done some exploration to see whether there could be manufacturing of traps in the Northwest Territories. I understand my department is working with the Department of Economic Development and Tourism to see if that could be feasible. Up to this point, the two departments are continuing to see if the Northwest Territories companies could start manufacturing the traps. Thank you.
