Written Question 33-15(3): NWT Trapping Industry

Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my written question is to the Minister of RWED. The Northwest Territories was built on a traditional economy by trappers. These trappers have supported many interest groups, such as the Hudson Bay Company, government agencies, churches, etcetera, in the communities.

How many full-time trappers are there in the NWT?

How many part-time trappers are in the NWT?

How many trappers are there in each of the regions?

On average, what does it cost to trap full time and part time?

What is the average income per trapper, either full time or part time?

What types of assistance are provided to trappers in the NWT?

How are the trappers being compensated for “potential development” in their area of livelihood and what is the process for compensation?
