Thank you, Madam Speaker. I've been interested in the fur industry for many years. There are a lot of people in my constituency and in the rest of the Northwest Territories involved in the fur industry. At this time of year, people are getting ready to go out and start trapping. Every year for many years, we have been trapping fur and sending them south. The way I see it, and from learning as much I could in the last few years through international travel and so forth about the fur industry, I think our trappers are not getting a good price for their fur because we are locked into sending our furs to an auction down south.

Is there any way in the fur industry to try to identify northern furs as exclusive furs so that we have better prices for our trappers? Thank you.
