Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess, you know, I have a lot of people come to my office, a lot of artisans selling goods, and a lot of those goods are made with commercially tanned hides. And I ask them all the time, why don't you use traditional tanned hides? Because we can't access the hides. No, we're not -- some of the hunters, harvesters, aren't bringing them out of the bush. And maybe they do it in Fort Simpson but I get people from Providence, Simpson, all over, come to me to sell stuff, and it's an issue.
So what I'd like to see, I guess, is that as part of this is that we provide -- that we can provide an incentive for harvesters to bring the hides out, if they're not, and make them available to artisans to tan. And whether we just -- my preference would be just give it to them. Like, you pay somebody $250, $500, I don't know what it would be, to bring it out of the bush and then turn it over to the artisan, and they can tan it. And that's kind of what I'd like to see, because there is a gap there. I know there's a gap there. You know, when you get tourists in, they -- when they pick something up, first thing they do is smell it. They want something that's traditionally tanned, so. And if access to the hide is an issue, then we should address it. And if we have to provide some incentive -- we provide incentive for everything else so, you know, there's no reason why we can't do that. So is that something your department can look at since you actually deal with the harvesters? Thank you.
