Mr. Speaker, this was a rumour that some of our officials had picked up as well, along with some of the trappers and people who are involved in the fur industry. There was some information sent out that Canada Post would no longer be shipping fur through the mail. We contacted Canada Post immediately to see if that information could be verified. There was apparently a misunderstanding at Canada Post of information that was received. They were led to believe that they were to stop shipping fur. We have since then clarified the understanding with Canada Post and all this to say that fur will continue to be shipped through the mail and accepted by Canada Post. Thank you.
