Mr. Speaker, the Member is correct. There has been, at times, a shortage in the traps. Fortunately, the Northwest Territories was ahead of most jurisdictions in making the conversion over to the humane traps. However, now we find that the other provinces and regions are getting up to speed. They are using up more and more of what can be manufactured. We are concerned that the average age of our trappers is increasing and the average age is well over 50. We need to get more young people into it.
As I mentioned yesterday, we are running two pilot programs this year, one in the Delta area and the other one will be south of the lake. We are using older, experienced trappers as mentors who will take young people out with them and begin the process of learning how to trap. So we are doing those two programs on a pilot basis this year, which will assist young people. As the young people or any new entrepreneurs want to get into trapping, then we do have small business programs available to assist them from that side as well once they are on their own. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
