Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to speak about an opportunity that would allow communities and regions to work together, that would support local hunters as well as those people that do traditional arts and crafts. Specifically, I am talking about the situation in my riding during moose hunting season. There are on average 100 moose or so taken by the local people. Unfortunately there is not much of a need for the hides so they get left in the bush. I also understand in talking to some of my colleagues, in other regions and other communities there are not enough moosehides available to do traditional arts and crafts. I see an opportunity here for RWED and the Minister to play a proactive role in an important issue to work with the people, the hunters of Thebacha and other communities and regions where hides are in short supply to work out an arrangement to bring the hides and put them to use. I also believe the situation is the same in the riding of Tu Nedhe. I would ask the Minister later during question period, Mr. Speaker, if he can throw his support behind this very worthwhile initiative to promote local arts and crafts and support those very valuable skills as well as work with the hunters. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
