Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. Last summer, one of the groups of the Great Slave freshwater fishermen raised a problem they were having with the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation. Some of the group's representatives met with the Minister and the Government Leader, but there did not appear to be any movement on the issue. The price that these fishermen were being paid by the corporation was so low, it was not viable for many of them to continue fishing. The group wanted the ability to export fish so that they could explore their own markets. Can the Minister advise what action he has taken in the eight months since he last responded to this issue in the House to support the concerns of the Great Slave freshwater fishermen and assist them in opting out of the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation?
