Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a detail here. Satisfy my curiosity, if you will, Mr. Chairman. Under the area here, I see that we are continuing to put $5,000 into the area of humane trap development, which are grants to inventors working on the development of humane trapping devices.
In a CBC News article this morning, there is a discussion on, I believe it was Sachs Harbour, where an RWED officer was conducting a training course in that community; where I guess there is quite a good potential harvest of white fox this year, and there was a discussion about getting out and using old leg hold traps.
I was just wondering, Mr. Chairman, on one hand I know that our government had participated over a number years and international programs to eliminate leg hold traps.
They certainly seem to be not as humane as some of the newer models. It seems to be something we are promoting and yet there was a discussion where we wanted people to use these old leg hold traps, if they were available. Can the Minister advise, do we have a policy or any other laws or restrictions about the use of these older, more cruel ways of trapping and killing animals? Thank you.
