Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There is about $2.1 million available under EDA in that particular region of the South Baffin for exploration of fishery products in that area. Mr. Speaker, there is a committee, of which we are a part, consisting of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, DIAND, and Renewable Resources, in Iqaluit, that is presently looking for a proposal call to bring a vessel up into the Baffin, or to lease a vessel that is available in the Baffin, or buy a vessel with a view to exploring over the next few years the potential fishery in that particular area, including whelk. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
