Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The fur program is one of our longest-standing programs and the government is very happy to be able to continue to contribute and support trappers, because we know that any funding that we provide and any return to the harvesters goes directly to the communities and protects their way of life. The Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment currently retains responsibility for marketing and promotional activities and managing the high procurement program to support traditional crafts. The Genuine Mackenzie Valley Fur Program is jointly managed by the departments of Environment and Natural Resources and Industry, Tourism and Investment. Environment and Natural Resources is now responsible for the Genuine Mackenzie Valley Fur Program delivery and administration of the Fur Marketing Service Revolving Fund, with the exception of marketing and promoting of Hide and Fur Procurement Program. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
