Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I too have a question for the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development in a similar area of questioning with regard to trying to find programs to enhance the fur industry, the craft side of it; beaded jackets, muskox ties and also people who are in the cottage industry of making slippers and other crafts like fur pants. There is the quality of craftsmanship out there, but we do not seem to be doing much by way of assisting them through program dollars, resources. We assist in the diamond industry. We assist with training for oil and gas.
I think we have to start looking at a program specifically designed for the fur industry. I would like to ask the Minister, are you looking at any new initiatives to establish a program on its own to assist the cottage industry dealing with fur products?
