Mr. Speaker, not all fishermen around the lake want to opt out of FMC. I have never received clear direction from the majority of fishermen. I do recognize the fact that some fishermen would like to export fish on an experimental basis just to see what price they could get for those fish. We have done a study that says we could probably sell more fish into the Northwest Territories and consequently we are going to process, on a pilot project basis, 100,000 pounds in Hay River this summer to see whether we can sell more fish into the Northwest Territories. That should give fishermen a better price, if we can get a better price for those fish, Mr. Speaker.
