Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, the Fur Pricing Program is a program where we provide support to trappers to ensure they have a minimum price for selected species of fur. This is to ensure that trappers can continue to find that occupation viable. The program is managed out of our regional offices. Trappers bring their fur in. If the fur is of good quality, they are guaranteed a minimum price. We essentially supplement them based on the set minimum price against the sale price for that particular piece of fur. I do not have the exact amounts of the minimum price for each of the species but it was started in 1995 and in the western Arctic it covers muskrats, beavers. There was no need to have it for martin and I am not sure of exactly all the species. Thank you.
