Mr. Speaker, I will commit to do that. My staff are doing that on an ongoing basis. We have, as I mentioned, contributed a fair amount of money this fiscal year to this sector of our economy. The Western Harvesters' Assistance program was set up a number of years ago. Through that program, over $10 million has been given to communities and to aboriginal groups to support their harvesters. I would hope to work with them on how that money can be best utilized for the benefit of trappers. We are also working, Mr. Speaker, on programs, two pilot programs, to try to get young people into the trapping industry in order to help from that side as well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
