Mr. Chairman, I've tried to make it very clear to the Minister in my private discussions on this matter and also in my statements in the Legislature that if we degenerate -- if I may use that term -- to creating issues out of personality conflicts and use that as a smoke screen to avoid the fundamental policy issues, then I'm being lured into a trap that I don't want to participate in. I'm aware there are players, passions and politics in the fishery. What I want to understand, Mr. Chairman, is does the Minister support competition and small business growth in the Baffin fishery?
