Gaspé Reel / Rabbit Reel / Hare Reel / Reel du Lapin etc???

I've been trying to find out if this tune is trad:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv5q2MA5fX8

Someone has posted on there that it's called the Reel du Lapin, but the tunes I can find by that name on the net seem to be different (but then I'm not much of a reader and don't do ABC).

Can anyone here provide a positive identification, and/or confirmation that it's trad?

Thanks

Tom

We also know of it as "La Peteuse" (female farter's) from Quebec. You can see why.
