Mr. Speaker, yes, we support the concern that the price of fish is not as high as we would like to see it, or the fishermen would like to see it. One of the suggestions by this company, Mr. Speaker, is to get exemption from the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation in some species of fish and that, of course, will have to come from the FFMC. We have told this company in a letter some two or three weeks ago, before the company was incorporated, the kind of information that we would require as a department in order to be able to assist them. To my knowledge, until today, Mr. Speaker, I have not heard that we have received a reply in that regard. Thank you.
