I move amendment No. 3:


In page 9, subsection (1), between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following:" "fur" means animal skin including its hair cover;
"fur farming" means the act of keeping, breeding, selling or slaughter of animals solely or primarily for the value of their fur;
"fur product" means a product made of, or containing, fur used as a garment, fashion accessory, toy, decoration or any other use;".
As I have to step outside the room for one moment, Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan will make the case for this amendment on my behalf.
