I'll be brief with this and then open the floor if anybody has additional comments.
From a personal perspective, coming from the Yukon territory, I'm a firm supporter of traditional activities that are sustainable, humane, and support the livelihood of thousands of Canadians. I come from a geographic region that has a strong tradition and heritage in the trapping industry. I have observed some of the challenges that industry has faced over the years, and I now see that starting to press up against people who are involved in the sealing industry.
I think it's an important motion that the committee consider—particularly around the heritage, tradition, and culture it provides Canadians—that it is a sustainable harvest, it is conducted humanely, and it supports the livelihood of Canadians.
