Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are a number of people in the North, namely aboriginal people, who have a general hunting license. They are eligible at any time to take up trapping. If they do, then the GHL, their general hunting license number, is recorded when they sell the furs.
As well, there are also a few people who have special general hunting licenses, who are also eligible to sell fur through trapping or hunting through the department. There are two types of ways of identifying people who sell furs.
Having said that, according to the Workers' Compensation Board, the Renewable Resources Harvesters Program regularly and actively engages people who are engaged in hunting, fishing and trapping for a livelihood. At least 25 percent of the harvesters gross income, including about $7,000 for country foods, is derived from hunting, fishing and trapping. These are people who are eligible for the Workers' Compensation Board who are principally engaged.
Generally, the question I think was mainly who are trappers? Trappers are the GHL holders, or the special GHL holders who sell fur and they are recorded. Thank you.
