Thank you for your question and concerns.
I think for the Council of Yukon First Nations, it's had a very heavy impact upon our people. We have trappers who have trapped for generations and their livelihood is slowly being taken away from them, if it's not already been taken away from a lot of them. Because of the warmth and global warming, the quality of fur isn't the same, so it drives the prices down. People are starting to get out of the industry.
When it comes to the health of our people, our people utilize many medicines off the lands, and those medicines and whatnot are starting to be depleted. You've heard mentioned earlier the spruce bark beetle, the pine beetle, and all of that, and it's having a very negative impact. We've got to look at ways to start to increase funding in that area instead of decreasing it.
Thank you.
