Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I will. Support to the traditional economy and for the traditional economy is very important for this department. We'll have continued discussions with committee about how we can continue to raise the profile of trapping. I think it's very important, and I agree with the Member that if a generation loses their trapping skills, it would be very difficult to get them back. We have to do what we can to make sure the people who want to live this lifestyle can do so. Mr. Speaker, obviously it's not an easy living. I think we recognize that. This is very difficult work, but I applaud the people who continue to make their living from the land and certainly the department is very interested in the support and I'm very interested in working with committee to make sure we can maintain a sustainable industry. Thank you.
