Mr. Speaker, we really believe that we are providing a great deal of assistance to hunters and trappers. It costs us more than $1 million to pick up their WCB contributions. We have support programs out there. The Minister of Renewable Resources has a new program this year for price support with regard to fur. There is a wildlife harvesters' income support program for people in the Nunavut territory. The same applies in the western Arctic, there are all kinds of other available programs to hunters and trappers through Renewable Resources where we give them assistance. So I think we are trying, as best we can, to support that traditional lifestyle and enable those people to continue to earn their living from the land.
With regard to the taxation, Mr. Speaker...Mr. Ballantyne, the irony is that I asked the same question as Mr. Koe asked. I think in 1989 I asked the question. Mr. Ballantyne did undertake to look at this particular issue and it was determined that if we were to use coloured gas or some other form of identifying these particular products, it would be administratively costly for the government and also for the retailers who are selling those particular products. So I think that Mr. Ballantyne managed to convince me at that time that it was as good as we could get it at the present time, and the bringing in of coloured fuels, et cetera, et cetera, just would not make economic sense with our small population. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
