Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we can do that. One of the things I've been very impressed with is our regional operations right across the territory. I know our regional staff are working very diligently with trappers. They make sure that they take in furs, they advance monies to trappers, we have a grubstake program to get trappers started at the beginning of the year, so we already have a lot of contact with trappers. Certainly, we can sit down and discuss the potential implications of not resolving these issues. They are very important to us. I would like to hear from trappers how they feel about the programs that we are implementing, because it has been two to three seasons now that we've had this new program, which we are very happy with, by most accounts. So I would like to get some more feedback from them. I think our regional staff are best suited to conduct that and carry that out, and we'll certainly commit to discussing this with our regional staff and make sure they engage the local trappers in this regard. Thank you.
