Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that program is administered generally by the department, but it is implemented in each region by the resource officers. Most often, the prices and so on are set at the community level. Anything that is considered to be prime fur in reasonably good condition is guaranteed a price. There is a price for it. The officers who are doing this are, in many cases, people who are experienced trappers themselves. They are aboriginal people from the communities and they have been trained on grading fur to make sure that it all works well. In some cases, if there are issues and concerns and because grading fur is a judgment issue, then we will follow up and attempt to straighten out the disagreement if it exists. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
