Mr. Speaker, we are quite concerned about this issue. Thousands and thousands of people depend on trapping for their survival.
I take this opportunity to congratulate Canada's aboriginal community which worked extremely hard with our government, as well as with governments in Europe, to ensure that our position is well known to Europeans and others abroad.
I assure the member that whatever we do on this issue is going to be in the best interests of the aboriginal people and the best interests of the Canadian industry.
